Written by an international team of leading scholars, this engaging
textbook on the study of English historical linguistics is uniquely
organized in terms of theoretical approaches and perspectives. Each
chapter features textboxes, case studies, suggestions for further
reading and exercises, enabling students to understand the
strengths and weaknesses of each approach and guiding them on
undertaking further research. The case studies and exercises guide
students in approaching and manipulating empirical data, providing
them with hands-on experience of conducting linguistic research. An
extensive variety of approaches, from traditional to contemporary,
is treated, including generative approaches, historical
sociolinguistic and pragmatic approaches, psycholinguistic
perspectives, grammaticalization theory, and discourse-based
approaches, as well as perspectives on standardization and language
variation. Each chapter applies the concepts discussed to data from
the history of English, and a glossary of key terms enables easy
navigation and quick cross-referencing. An essential resource for
advanced undergraduate and graduate students of the history of
English linguistics.
