This book, the second volume in A Linguistic History of English,
describes the development of Old English from Proto-Germanic. Like
Volume I, it is an internal history of the structure of English
that combines traditional historical linguistics, modern syntactic
theory, the study of languages in contact, and the variationist
approach to language change. The first part of the book considers
the development of Northwest and West Germanic, and the northern
dialects of the latter, with particular reference to phonological
and morphological phenomena. Later chapters present a detailed
account of changes in the Old English sound system, inflectional
system, and syntax. The book aims to make the findings of
traditional historical linguistics accessible to scholars and
students in other subdisciplines, and also to adopt approaches from
contemporary theoretical linguistics in such a way that they are
accessible to a wide range of historical linguists.
