Abstract:
The volume features a selection of new work presented at the 2004 meeting
of the International Conference on English Historical Linguistics (ICEHL).
Main conference themes reflected in this volume are: the maturation and
broadening of historical corpus linguistics, a new interest in English for
Specific Purposes as a diachronic phenomenon, and the role of grammar
writing in the process of change. A further thematic strand of this book is the
significance of functional aspects in the development of grammar and
discourse, especially in domains beyond phonology and morphology. Several
contributions focus on the operation of socio-pragmatic and functional
factors in historically identifiable social networks, especially in the 18th
century. Apart from that there is also a strong emphasis on developments in
the 19th and 20th centuries.
