The great structural changes of the English language in the course
of its history are taught in this textbook by continuous reference
to translations of identical Biblical passages, which date from
different periods and are printed in parallel. Analysis progresses
from spelling and phonology to inflexion, word-formation, syntax,
lexicology and semantics and ends with a chapter on foreign
influences. Description is consistently based on
functional-structuralist methods which provide the best tool for
the didactic aim here envisaged. The book is intended for an
introductory course into English historical linguistics at
university level.
