| Synopsis: |
Historical Sociolinguistics: Language Change in Tudor and Stuart England is the seminal text in the field of historical sociolinguistics. Demonstrating the real-world application of sociolinguistic research methodologies, this book examines the social factors which promoted linguistic changes in English, laying the foundation for Modern Standard English. This revised edition of Nevalainen and Raumolin-Brunberg's ground-breaking work:discusses the grammatical developments that shaped English in the early modern period;presents the sociolinguistic factors affecting linguistic change in early English, including gender, social status, and regional variation;showcases the authors' research into personal letters from the people who were the driving force behind these changes; anddemonstrates how historical linguists can make use of social and demographic history when analysing and interpreting linguistic variation over an extended period of time.With brand new chapters on language change and the individual, and on newly developed sociolinguistic methods, Historical Sociolinguistics is essential reading for all students and researchers in this area. |
