This textbook approaches the history of English from a
theoretical perspective. The book provides a brief chronological
overview describing the way in which the English language has
changed over time from Old English to Modern English, while
subsequent parts adopt a theoretical focus that is
thematically organised to deal with the question of how and why
English changed in the way it did, including a part addressing some
specific contact-induced changes and key topics such as English as
a Lingua Franca. Supported throughout with information boxes with
empirical studies, the examples given are all drawn from English,
but boxes with examples from other languages tie the development of
the English language into changes in other contexts and settings.
This book is an ideal resource for undergraduate students of the
English Language and historical linguistics.Â
