This volume is the first collection of papers to focus on instructional writing throughout the history of the language. Spanning a millennium of English texts, the materials studied represent procedural and behavioural discourse in a variety of genres. The primary texts, from Ælfric's homilies to medieval cooking recipes to seventeenth-century American conduct literature to present-day language textbooks, display a variety of linguistic devices typical of instruction. The materials nonetheless differ with respect to the explicitness of their instructive purpose. Bringing together a broad range of instructional writing from the Old, Middle and Modern English periods, this collection celebrates the sixtieth birthday of Risto Hiltunen, who has successfully combined discourse-linguistic approaches with the history of English in his research, and inspired the colleagues and former students contributing to this volume.Pragmatics & beyond ;189.Didactic literature, EnglishHistory and criticismEnglish prose literatureMiddle English, 1100-1500History and criticismEnglish prose literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismEnglish languageRhetoricStudy and teachingDidactic literature, EnglishHistory and criticism.English prose literatureHistory and criticism.English prose literatureHistory and criticism.English languageRhetoricStudy and teaching.820.9/353Peikola Matti1594591Skaffari Janne1593298Tanskanen Sanna-Kaisa1594592Hiltunen Risto171979MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826536303321Instructional writing in English3915170UNINA
