Historical linguistic theory and practice consist of a large number
of chronological "layers" that have been accepted in the course of
time and have acquired a permanence of their own. These range from
neogrammarian conceptualizations of sound change, analogy, and
borrowing, to prosodic, lexical, morphological, and syntactic
change, and to present-day views on rule change and the effects of
language contact. To get a full grasp of the principles of
historical linguistics it is therefore necessary to understand the
nature of each of these "layers". This book is a major revision and
reorganization of the earlier editions and adds entirely new
chapters on morphological change and lexical change, as well as a
detailed discussion of linguistic palaeontology and ideological
responses to the findings of historical linguistics to this
landmark publication.
