It showcases a wide variety of historical linguistic approaches, including 'big data' analyses of large corpora, dialectological methods, and the study of translated texts. It also breaks new ground by applying relevant insights from other fields, among them postcolonial linguistics and anthropology. This pluralistic approach brings new and under-studied issues within the scope of explanation, and challenges some long-held assumptions about the nature of historical change in English. The volume will be of interest to an audience interested in the history of English, and the impact of its contact with Viking Age Norse, Old French, and Latin"-- NO - "This volume presents papers based on presentations delivered at the 20th International Conference on English Historical Linguistics (ICEHL-20), which took place at the University of Edinburgh on 27-31 August 2018" CN - PE1075 .I57 2018 SN - 9789027258199 SN - 9027258198 SN - 9789027210654 KW - English language : History : Congresses.
