Bringing together experts from both historical linguistics and
psychology, this volume addresses core factors in language change
from the perspectives of both fields. It explores the potential
(and limitations) of such an interdisciplinary approach, covering
the following factors: frequency, salience, chunking, priming,
analogy, ambiguity and acquisition. Easily accessible, the book
features chapters by psycholinguists presenting cutting edge
research on core factors and processes and develops a model of how
this may be involved in language change. Each chapter is
complemented with one or several case study in the history of the
English language in which the psycholinguistic factor in question
may be argued to have played a decisive role. Thus, for the first
time, a single volume provides a platform for an integrated
exchange between psycholinguistics and historical linguistics on
the question of how language changes over time.
