How were you and thou used in Early Modern England? What were the
typical ways of ordering others in Early Medieval England? How was
the speech of others represented in the nineteenth-century novel?
This volume answers these questions and more by providing an
overview of the field of English historical pragmatics. Following
introductory chapters which set out the scope of the field and
address methods and challenges, core chapters focus on a range of
topics, including pragmatic markers, speech representation,
politeness, speech acts, address terms, and register, genre, and
style. Each chapter describes the object of study, defines
essential terms and concepts, and discusses the methodologies used.
Succinct and clear summaries of studies in the field are presented
and are richly illustrated with corpus data. Presenting a
comprehensive and accessible yet state-of-the-art introduction to
the field, it is essential reading for both students and academic
researchers.
