Abstract:

The Language of Daily Life in England (1400-1800) is an importantstate-of-the art account of historical sociolinguistic and socio-pragmaticresearch. The volume contains nine studies and an introductory essay whichdiscuss linguistic and social variation and change over four centuries.Each study tackles a linguistic or social phenomenon, and approaches itwith a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, always embeddedin the socio-historical context. The volume presents new information onlinguistic variation and change, while evaluating and developing therelevant theoretical and methodological tools. The writers form one of theleading research teams in the field, and, as compilers of the Corpus ofEarly English Correspondence, have an informed understanding of the data inall its depth. This volume will be of interest to scholars in historicallinguistics, sociolinguistics and socio-pragmatics, but also e.g. socialhistory. The approachable style of writing makes it also inviting foradvanced students.
