Of the twelve papers in the collection, half are based on grammar and syntax, half on lexical developments. The volume highlights the contributions that strong empirical research can make to our knowledge of the development of English grammar, especially as realized in lexical development. In illustration of contemporary research trends, the articles in the collection make strong use of extralinguistic factors to discuss language change as well as argue for internal and structural development. The authors are drawn from nine different countries, and each article is followed by a commentary and response that provide actual dialogue about the issues in the field, thus representing world-wide discussion of issues in the history of English. The essays recognize the different audiences for historical variation and change - formal linguists, sociolinguists, and lexicographers - and specifically address the interests and discourse in those areas. The volume shows how historical studies of English are increasingly engaged with contemporary trends in linguistics, at the same time as demonstrating how empirical and other methods can bring classical philology fully into the sphere of contemporary linguistics without abandoning its traditional concerns. 410 0$aTopics in English linguistics ;$v68. 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 $aCloutier$b Robert A.$f1979-$01039165 701 $aHamilton-Brehm$b Anne Marie$f1970-$01039166 701 $aKretzschmar$b William A$01030491 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455977103321 996 $aStudies in the history of the English language V$92461203 997 $aUNINA
