THE LINGUISTICS OF THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH - REM...

This textbook approaches the history of English from a theoretical perspective. The book
provides a brief chronological overview describing the way in which the English language has
changed over time from Old English to Modern English  while subsequent parts adopt a
theoretical focus that is thematically organised to deal with the question of how and why
English changed in the way it did  including a part addressing some specific contact-induced
changes and key topics such as English as a Lingua Franca. Supported throughout with
information boxes with empirical studies  the examples given are all drawn from English  but
boxes with examples from other languages tie the development of the English language into
changes in other contexts and settings. This book is an ideal resource for undergraduate
students of the English Language and historical linguistics.
