Descripción
Sumario:The fourteen studies selected for this volume - all of them peer-reviewed versions of papers presented at the 15th International Conference on English Historical Linguistics 2008 (23-30 August) at the University of Munich - investigate syntactic variation and change in the history of English from two perspectives that are crucial to explaining language change, namely the analysis of usage patterns and the social motivations of language change. Documenting the way syntactic elements have changed their combinatory preferences in fine-grained corpus studies renders the opportunity to catch langua.
