Beskrivning
The Language of Queen Elizabeth I presents one of the first diachronic accounts of the language – the idiolect – of the Tudor monarch who ruled England and Ireland from 1558-1603. Suggests that Elizabeth I was a leader of language innovation and change, using it to build her complex social identity as a female monarch in a masculine position of powerExamines a number of the monarch’s letters, speeches, and translationsEstablishes Elizabeth I’s participation in ten morpho-syntactic changes and explores her spelling practiceDevelops theoretical and methodological frameworks of variationist sociolinguistics through the analysis of the individual speakerArgues for the significance of style as a linguistic and material property in our account of language variation and change

Recensioner i media
“I recommend this work to scholars specialising in Elizabeth I, regardless of their discipline; historical and present-day sociolinguists working particularly with idiolect research; and those interested in historical spelling variation and historical authorship attribution.” (Cercles, 1 February 2015)
