In the last few years, social historians have discovered what might
be called the 'linguistic dimension' of their discipline, just as
sociolinguists have been discovering the 'historical dimension' and
historians of language the 'social dimension'. They have become
interested in language both as a source for social history and also
as a historical phenomenon in its own right. This volume of essays
brings together some of this recent work by social historians of
Britain, France and Italy from the sixteenth to the twentieth
century. The authors concern themselves with the politics as well
as the sociology of language; with dialect as well as standard
languages; with writing as well as speech; with the language of
women as well as that of men; with the language of politeness and
the language of insult; the language of deference and the language
of revolt; the language of sub-cultures and counter-cultures as
well as those of the elites and 'the people'.
