Empirical and Analytical Advances in the Study of English Language
Change continues the project of initiating and energizing the
conversations among historians of the English language fostered by
the series of conferences on studying the history of the English
language (SHEL), begun in 2000 at UCLA. It follows in the footsteps
of three high-profile SHEL-based collections of peer-reviewed
research papers and point-counterpoint commentaries. In the current
volume, the editors invited contributors to reflect upon their
approaches and practices in undertaking historical studies,
focusing particularly on the methods deployed in selecting and
analyzing data. The essays in this volume represent interests in
the study of linguistic change in English that range across
different periods, genres, and aspects of the language and show
different approaches and use of evidence to deal with the subject.
They also represent the current state of research in the field and
the nature of the debates in which scholars and historians engage
as regards the nature of the evidence adduced in the explanation of
change and the robustness of heuristics. The editors share a strong
interest in examining the evidence that informs and grounds
research in their fields at the same time as interrogating the
heuristics employed by their colleagues for the histories they
present. The contributions to the volume give expression to these
interests. Contributors are: Richard Hogg (to whose memory the
volume is dedicated), William Labov, Elizabeth Traugott, Rob Fulk,
Thomas Cable, Jennifer Tran-Smith, Charles Li, Christina
Fitzgerald, David Denison, Christopher Palmer, Don Chapman, Graeme
Trousdale, Joan Beal, Connie Eble, Stefan Dollinger and Raymond
Hickey. The volume is of interest to scholars and postgraduate and
research students in the history of English, English philology, and
(English) historical linguistics.
