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. 410 0$aTopics in English linguistics ;$v61. 517 3 $aStudies in the history of the English language 4 517 3 $aStudies in the history of the English language four 517 3 $aEmpirical and analytical advances in the study of English language change 606 $aEnglish language$xHistory 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar, Historical 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xHistory. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar, Historical. 676 $a420.9 701 $aFitzmaurice$b Susan M$0624737 701 $aMinkova$b Donka$f1944-$0175201 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454548203321 996 $aStudies in the history of the English language IV$92457483 997 $aUNINA
