INSIGHTS INTO LATE MODERN ENGLISH KARTONIERT (TB)

This volume includes fifteen papers focussing on three important aspects of the history of
English in Britain and overseas since the eighteenth century: the grammatical tradition of
prescriptivism  syntactic developments and sociolinguistic factors affecting language
variation. Within these areas  methodological approaches include those relating to corpus
linguistics  social network theory  the investigation of specialized discourse in a diachronic
perspective  and lexicography. The individual sections are highly cohesive with each other  as
the ideological considerations on which the prescriptive tradition was founded are underpinned
by sociological factors. Theoretical contributions appear alongside 'case studies' in which
instances of specific usage are investigated.
