This volume adds to this flourishing array by presenting nine original studies by highly accomplished scholars holding a prominent reputation in the field. The overarching objective of the volume is to call attention to contemporary trends and innovative developments in the discipline and, more generally, to highlight current research on the relationship between sociolinguistics and historical linguistics, social motivations of language variation and change, and corpus-based studies. The overall interdisciplinary nature of the contributions, the variety of languages they examine and the range of themes they address are distinguishing features of the book, which also make it appealing to a wider readership. The general themes covered by the volume include how to define the historical and social dimensions in historical sociolinguistics research, historical second-language use and multilingualism, the role and relevance played by linguistic ideologies and attitudes in language choices, usage, policy (standardization and preservation), and language death. More specific topics addressed are the linguistic strategies employed to convey and defend religious ideology or to heighten the overall persuasiveness of the information provided. Controversial and/or under-researched issues are tackled, such as authorship and gender in the study of private documents, the regularization and standardization of English orthography, and the issue of speakers' awareness of the dissociation between spoken and written language. In addition, several contributions are methodologically linked by employing data from epistolary correspondence. 606 $aHistorical linguistics 606 $aPhilology 606 $aHistorical sociolinguistics, history of English, discourse analysis, language ideologies, dialect death, standardisation, diaglossia, orthography 606 $aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / Historical & Comparative$2bisacsh 610 $aHistorical sociolinguistics, history of English, discourse analysis, language ideologies, dialect death, standardisation, diaglossia, orthography. 615 0$aHistorical linguistics. 615 0$aPhilology. 615 4$aHistorical sociolinguistics, history of English, discourse analysis, language ideologies, dialect death, standardisation, diaglossia, orthography. 615 7$aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / Historical & Comparative. 676 $a417.7 702 $aRussi$b Cinzia$f1966- 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996309147503316 996 $aCurrent Trends in Historical Sociolinguistics$92160620 997 $aUNISA
