Beskrivning

The Routledge Handbook of Historical Linguistics provides a complete and up-to-date survey of the field written by specialists from around the world. Across four sections, the volume covers the methods which underpin current work; models of language change; and the importance of historical linguistics for other subfields of linguistics as well as other disciplines.The second edition of this acclaimed resource retains the same structure, with each chapter comprising an introduction to the subject; an analysis of the relationship between the diachronic and synchronic study of the topic; an overview of the main current and critical trends; and examples from primary data. However, the chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the current state of the field and brand-new chapters have been added to include:- The history of historical linguistics;- Corpus linguistics work;- Computational semantic change;- Philology;- Historical sociolinguistics;- Psycholinguistics and language change;- Creole language change.Showcasing the full breadth and depth of research in this evolving and vibrant field, The Routledge Handbook of Historical Linguistics is essential reading for researchers and advanced students working in this area.
