Historical linguistic theory and practice contains a great number of different 'layers' which have been accepted in the course of time and have acquired a permanency of their own. These range from neogrammarian conceptualizations of sound change and analogy to present-day ideas on rule change and language mixture. To get a full grasp of the principles of historical linguistics it is therefore necessary to understand the nature and justifications (or shortcomings) of each of these 'layers', not just to look for a single 'overarching' theory. The major purpose of the book is to provide in up-to-date form such an understanding of the principles of historical linguistics and the related fields of comparative linguistics and linguistic reconstruction. In addition, the book provides a very broad exemplification of the principles of historical linguistics.

Die Konzepte ,Schreiben' und ,Lesen' unterschieden sich im Altisländischen in vielen Aspekten. Es gab unterschiedliche Sprachen, Schriftsysteme, Materialien, Textsorten, Stimmen und Rahmen. Die involvierten Personen agierten als Schreiber, Verfasser, Leser, Zuhörer oder Auftraggeber. Dem gegenüber stehen verschiedene Verben wie rita, rista, skrifa, dikta, setja saman, lesa oder sjá, die auf spezifische Aspekte referieren. Für die Erforschung der mittelalterlichen Schriftlichkeit ist es deshalb grundlegend, diese Konzepte zu kennen. Trotzdem gab es bisher nur punktuelle Analysen einzelner Aspekte, Lexeme, Texte und Textstellen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht den Wortschatz erstmals in einem grösseren Textkorpus, das drei zentrale Quellentexte für die mittelalterliche isländische Schriftkultur umfasst. Die Konzepte werden mithilfe der syntagmatischen Relationen analysiert, welche die semantischen Strukturen auf der Ausdrucksseite abbilden. Dies ermöglicht eine systematische Betrachtung der Konzepte und der verschiedenen Aspekte der mittelalterlichen isländischen Schriftlichkeit.

This volume presents the outcome of a workshop, held in Amsterdam in 1985, on the nature, even possibility, of explanation in Historical Linguistics: why changes take place and others do not, and why they occur at a particular time and place. The workshop, and this volume, aim to explore questions such as i) are the factors which explain the actuation of a change different from those that explain its implementation?; ii) is it possible to give a typology of changes?; iii) should linguistic explanation hope to meet the same requirements as explanation in the pure sciences?; iv) are all linguist
