The fourteen essays presented here discuss the development of
English during the Middle English period: how the language
developed from Old English, linguistic innovations, and the loss
and abandonment of certain words and constructions. A common theme
is variation and variability - dialectal, social, temporal,
stylistic and idiolectal - with much work fitting under the heading
of historical pragmatics. Some of the essays also shed light on
everyday life, customs, culture and religious practices during the
period. Collectively, the essays make it clear that searchable
computerized corpora have become indispensible tools of the
discipline, with several contributors describing new corpora
created to their own specifications.
