But these empirial data are constantly changing, and even interpreting them may be influenced by new linguistic circumstances. Description of language change has the advantage of hard evidence, but uncovering the reasons behind a set of language data is not a secure task. Language Change investigates the many facets of human activity that bear on this complex field. It relies on the polar areas of phonology, with its immediate alliance to physiology and physics, and semantics, with its penetration into the meaning of the world at large. Irmengard Rauch and Gerald F. Carr have organized the volume in four sections?Contemporary Change, Historical Change, Linguists on Language Change, and Strata and Language Change?with almost half the chapters offering contemporary data.The distinguished contributors are Barbara Greim, Wayne Harbert, Henry and Renee KahaneI, Ilse Lehist, Winfred P. Lehmann, David Lightfoot, Yakov Malkiel, Raven McDavid Jr., Els Oksaar, Edgar Polome, Irmengard Rauch, and Frans VanCoetsem. Their range of topics reflects the kaleidoscopic essence of language change itself and will be of falue not only to linguists and semioticians but to historians, sociologists, philosophers, and anthropologists as well. 606 $aAufsatzsammlung$2gnd 606 $aSprachwandel$2gnd 606 $aTaalverandering$2gtt 606 $aLinguistic change$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00999167 606 $aChangement linguistique$xCongres 606 $aLinguistic change 610 $aLinguistics 615 0$aAufsatzsammlung 615 0$aSprachwandel 615 10$aTaalverandering. 615 0$aLinguistic change. 615 0$aChangement linguistique$xCongres. 615 0$aLinguistic change. 700 $aCarr$b Gerald F$4edt$0153774 702 $aCarr$b Gerald F. 702 $aRauch$b Irmengard 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524865403321 996 $aLanguage Change$93560730 997 $aUNINA
