Description
Understanding how English has developed over time is essential for anyone interested in linguistics. Cambridge Topics in English Language Change provides a comprehensive introduction to language change, exploring its nature, origins, and process.
This book examines the attitudes towards language change, as well as the policies and politics behind encouraging or halting it. It uses activities to help explain analysis methods, guiding students through major modern issues and concepts.
Key concerns and modern findings are summarised, while providing inspiration for language investigations and non-examined assessments. This book is suitable for advanced-level students and beyond, making it an ideal resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of English language change.
