Bringing the advances of theoretical linguistics to the study of language change in a systematic way, this innovative textbook demonstrates the mutual relevance of historical linguistics and contemporary linguistics. Numerous case studies throughout the book show both that theoretical linguistics can be used to solve problems where traditional approaches to historical linguistics have failed to produce satisfying results, and that the results of historical research can have an impact on theory. The book first explains the nature of human language and the sources of language change in broad terms. It then focuses on different types of language change from contemporary viewpoints, before exploring comparative reconstruction - the most spectacular success of traditional historical linguistics - and the problems inherent in trying to devise new methods for linguistic comparison. Positioned at the cutting edge of the field, the book argues that this approach can and should lead to the re-integration of historical linguistics as one of the core areas in the study of language.

Your guide to historical pragmatics in English studiesHistorical pragmatics is an emerging branch within linguistics and one of the most versatile fields in the historical study of English. It is placed at the intersection between pragmatics, historical linguistics and neighbouring disciplines like (historical) sociolinguistics. It is at such interfaces where exciting new developments take place.English Historical Pragmatics introduces this field to advanced linguistic students coming to the topic for the first time. It critically evaluates data sources and methodological approaches and takes a broad social pragmatics approach to micro issues within historical pragmatics such as discourse markers, terms of address and actions performed through language. It also covers macro issues of genre, medical and news discourse and fictional literature, and it outlines the underlying principles of language change through grammaticalisation, subjectivisation and pragmaticalisation.With engaging examples throughout and thought-provoking student exercises, this advanced textbook provides students with a thorough grounding in historical pragmatics.

Die linguistische historische Dialogforschung ist auch knapp 40 Jahre nach der 'pragmatischen Wende' noch nicht vom Schicksal der ständig wiederholten programmatischen Forderungen erlöst worden. Im Zentrum der Untersuchungen steht deshalb der Versuch einer methodologischen, sprachtheoretischen und empirischen Grundlegung der historischen Dialogforschung. Diese Grundlegung erfolgt vermittels einer historischen Wendung und empirischen Erprobung gesprächsanalytischer und dialoggrammatischer Ansätze der linguistischen Dialogforschung auf der Grundlage einer kultur- und sozialgeschichtlichen, ideen- und mentalitätsgeschichtlichen Erkundung des deutschen Lehrgesprächs im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert. Die Untersuchungen sind insofern zweigeteilt und richten sich zum einen auf theoretische und methodologische Fragen, deren Beantwortung die historische Dimension der linguistischen Dialogforschung systematisieren und operationalisieren soll; und sie richten sich zum anderen empirisch auf das deutsche Lehrgespräch im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert, das zwischen geschlossener Katechetik und offener Sokratik seinen Ort suchte und auf diesem Weg seinen Beitrag zur Herausbildung und Standardisierung des Deutschen als Gesprächssprache leistete - in einem Kommunikationsbereich, der in den deutschen Territorien während dieser 'Sattelzeit' den Mundarten gehörte oder gar zu weiten Teilen der lateinischen und der französischen Sprache das Gesprächsfeld überlassen hatte.
