From the rich programme (over 130 papers were given during the conference), the present thirteen papers were carefully selected to reflect the state of current research in the field of English historical linguistics. The areas represented in the volume are lexis and semantics, text-types, historical sociolinguistics and dialectology, and phonology. Many of the articles tackle questions of change and linguistic periodization through the use of methodological tools like corpora, linguistic atlases, thesauri and historical dictionaries. The theoretical frameworks adopted include, among others, multi-dimensional analysis, systemic-functional grammar, Communication Accommodation Theory, historical discourse analysis and Optimality Theory. 224 7 18 2002 10 21 2008 9789027247322 9781588111968 9789027297723 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/cilt.224 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027297723 https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cilt.224/html https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027297723.pdf Raymond Hickey https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2354-0205 A cautionary tale of language change 7 18 2002 10 21 2008 105 128 10.1075/cilt.224.09hic https://benjamins.com/catalog/cilt.224.09hic https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cilt.224.09hic/html
