Is historical linguistics different in principle from other
linguistic research? This book addresses problems encountered in
gathering and analysing data from early English, including the
incomplete nature of the evidence and the dangers of
misinterpretation or over-interpretation. Even so, gaps in the data
can sometimes be filled. The volume brings together a team of
leading English historical linguists who have encountered such
issues first-hand, to discuss and suggest solutions to a range of
problems in the phonology, syntax, dialectology and onomastics of
older English. The topics extend widely over the history of
English, chronologically and linguistically, and include
Anglo-Saxon naming practices, the phonology of the alliterative
line, computational measurement of dialect similarity, dialect
levelling and enregisterment in late Modern English, stress-timing
in English phonology and the syntax of Old and early Modern
English. The book will be of particular interest to researchers and
students in English historical linguistics.
