The eighteenth century was a key period in the development of the
English language, in which the modern standard emerged and many
dictionaries and grammars first appeared. This book is divided into
thematic sections which deal with issues central to English in the
eighteenth century. These include linguistic ideology and the
grammatical tradition, the contribution of women to the writing of
grammars, the interactions of writers at this time and how
politeness was encoded in language, including that on a regional
level. The contributions also discuss how language was seen and
discussed in public and how grammarians, lexicographers,
journalists, pamphleteers and publishers judged on-going change.
The novel insights offered in this book extend our knowledge of the
English language at the onset of the modern period.
