This volume represents a timely collective review and assessment of
what it is we do when we do English historical pragmatics or
historical discourse analysis. The context for the volume is a
critical assessment of the assumptions and practices defining the
body of research conducted on the history of the English language
from the perspective of historical pragmatics, broadly construed.
The aim of the volume is to engage with matters of approach and
method from different perspectives; accordingly, the contributions
offer insights into earlier communicative practices, registers, and
linguistic functions as gleaned from historical discourse. The
essays are grouped according to their orientations within the scope
of the study of language and meaning in historical texts, both
literary and non-literary. The structure of the volume thus
represents a critical convergence of traditions of reading texts
and analyzing discourse and this in turn exposes key questions
about the methods and the outcomes of such readings or analyses.
The volume contributes to the growing maturity of historical
pragmatic research approaches as it exemplifies and extends the
range of approaches and methods that dominate the research
enterprise. Contributors are prominent international scholars in
the fields of linguistics, literature, and philology: Dawn Archer,
Birte Boes, Laurel Brinton, Gabriella Del Lungo Camiciotti, James
Fitzmaurice, Susan Fitzmaurice, Monika Fludernik, Andreas Jucker,
Thomas Kohnen, Ursula Lenker, Lynne Magnusson, and Irma
Taavitsainen.
