• Features & Benefits o The first book to provide a
systematic overview introduction to the subject of linguistic
cycles, with practical research guidance and other pedagogical
resources, for students and researchers in historical linguistics
and linguistic typology. o The first book to present material on
macro cycles, period, and to tie them to the broader issues and
phenomena in linguistic cycle research. Additionally, the author
engages with a variety of theoretical perspectives rather than
narrowly on one approach (e.g., on functional-cognitive,
formal-generative, or usage-oriented perspectives) and brings
examples from a variety of typological language families (rather
than, as many books do, focusing on Indo-European languages), which
will appeal to instructors and researchers coming from different
research traditions. • Demand & Audience o Courses on
historical linguistics usually cover this topic over a week of the
term, and higher-level courses would benefit from the book for more
significant use. This book will provide an important,
comprehensive, accessible resource for students and researchers
that will drive further research in the field, and it will
carefully connect this material back to the broader disciplines of
historical linguistics, linguistic typology, and theoretical
linguistics. • Competition o Existing books are inaccessible to
more junior readers on account of format and narrowness (students
and researchers not already expert in this subject), outdated, or
focused on a related subject without coverage of this subject. This
book steps into the gap and offers a detailed introduction to
linguistic cycles by the absolute world expert on the subject.
