The History of English provides an accessible introduction to the
changes that English has undergone from its Indo-European
beginnings to the present day. The text looks at the major periods
in the history of English, and provides for each a socio-historical
context, an overview of the relevant major linguistic changes, and
also focuses on an area of current research interest, either in
sociolinguistics or in literary studies. Exercises and activities
that allow the reader to get 'hands-on' with different stages of
the language, as well as with the concepts of language change, are
also included. By explaining language change with close reference
to literary and other textual examples and emphasising the integral
link between a language and its society, this text is especially
useful for students of literature as well as linguistics.
