The Late Modern period is the first in the history of English for
which an unprecedented wealth of textual material exists. Using
increasingly sophisticated databases, the contributions in this
volume explore grammatical usage from the period, specifically
morphological and syntactic change, in a broad context. Some
chapters explore the socio-historical background of the period
while others provide information on prescriptivism, newspaper
language, language contact, and regional variation in British and
American English. Internal processes of change are discussed
against grammaticalisation theory and construction grammar and the
rich body of textual evidence is used to draw inferences on the
precise nature of historical change. Exposing readers to a wealth
of data that informs the description of a broad range of syntactic
phenomena, this book is ideal for graduate students and researchers
interested in historical linguistics, corpus linguistics and
language development.
