Cambridge Textbooks in LinguisticsSeries Editors: P. AustinJ. BresnanB. ComrieS. CrainW. DresslerC. Ewen

The aim of this series is to provide discussions of the main topics in general or theoretical linguistics through books of moderate size covering single topics. The level of treatment is uniform, and suitable for undergraduate students taking linguistics as part of an introductory course and the editors will oversee the entire series to ensure that the treatments are integrated and the overlap between works is minimal. It will be possible for a complete course to be developed around the texts and it is likely that universities will do so. Topics singled out for treatment are morphology, syntax, phonetics, phonology, sociolinguistics, language acquisition and semantics as well as aspects of historical linguistics.

The history and development of English, from the earliest known writings to its status today as a dominant world language, is a subject of major importance to linguists and historians. In this authoritative volume, a team of international experts cover the entire recorded history of the language over fifteen centuries.

‘… will keep you occupied for days.’Writer’s Forum

‘Two new histories cover the usual ground convincingly, yet both offer fresh approaches … [the book] is firmly grounded in the scholarship and methodology of the magisterial six-volume Cambridge History of the English Language … The value of the [book’s] thematic approach is that it more obviously illuminates change and continuity within a particular domain … [this book is] aimed at an audience of undergraduates and scholars needing a handy one-volume companion. While most of the material [it] contain[s] is eminently readable … there is elegant writing here, and sometimes it is succulent, too, as in Richard Coates’s chewy essay on the names of people and places … [this book] answer[s] the need for a history of English that is up-to-date, culturally sensitive, detailed and rigourous … convey[s] some of the lusture, excitement and agony of the past.’New Statesman

Cambridge Syntax GuidesSeries Editors: J. BresnanD. LightfootI. RobertsN. V. SmithN. Vincent

Responding to the increasing interest in comparative syntax, the goal of the Cambridge Syntax Guides is to make available to all linguists major findings, both descriptive and theoretical, which have emerged from the study of particular languages. The series is not committed to work in any particular framework, but rather seeks to make language-specific research available to theoreticians and practitioners of all persuasions. Written by leading figures in the field, these guides will each include an overview of the grammatical structures of the language concerned. For the descriptivist, the books will provide an accessible introduction to the methods and results of the theoretical literature; for the theoretician, they will show how constructions that have achieved theoretical notoriety fit into the structure of the language as a whole; for everyone, they will promote cross-theoretical and cross-linguistic comparison with respect to a well-defined body of data.

Key Topics in SociolinguisticsSeries Editor: Rajend Mesthrie

This new series focuses on the main topics of study in sociolinguistics today. It consists of accessible yet challenging accounts of the most important issues to consider when examining the relationship between language and society. Some topics have been the subject of sociolinguistic study for many years, and are here re-examined in the light of new developments in the field; others are issues of growing importance that have not so far been given a sustained treatment. Written by leading experts, the books in the series are designed to be used on courses and in seminars, and include useful suggestions for further reading and a helpful glossary.

The Regional Diversification of Latin, 200 BC – AD 600J. N. AdamsUniversity of Oxford

Classical Latin appears to be without regional dialects, yet Latin evolved in little more than a millennium into a variety of different languages (the Romance languages: Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese etc.). Was regional diversity apparent from the earliest times, obscured perhaps by the standardisation of writing, or did some catastrophic event in late antiquity cause the language to vary? These questions have long intrigued Latinists and Romance philologists, struck by the apparent uniformity of Latin alongside the variety of Romance. This book establishes that Latin was never geographically uniform. The changing patterns of diversity and the determinants of variation are examined

from the time of the early inscriptions of Italy, through to late antiquity and the beginnings of the Romance dialects in the western Roman provinces. This is the most comprehensive treatment ever undertaken of the regional diversification of Latin throughout its history in the Roman period.2007 228 x 152 mm 670pp 18 maps 978-0-521-88149-4 Hardback c. £110.00 Publication December 2007

Lexicalization and Language ChangeLaurel J. BrintonUniversity of British Columbia, Vancouver

Examines the ways in which lexicalization, a process of language change, has been presented in the literature.

‘… very clearly structured. … Brinton and Traugott’s book represents a major contribution to our knowledge and understanding of the relationship between grammaticalization and lexicalization, and their role in language change. It not only provides a complete survey of previous approaches in a systematic way but also offers a new integrated model that is applied to some of the most controversial instances of linguistic change in the history of English, with a perspective on comparable changes cross-linguistically. The extensive list of references is an invaluable source of information about the wide variety of studies within this field of language change. The book is marked by an admirable clarity and vividness and will thus be extremely useful not only for experts in the field, but also for students trying to find an orientation in matters of language change.’Folia Linguistica

A History of Ancient GreekFrom the Beginnings to Late AntiquityEdited by A.-F. ChristidisUniversity of Thessaloniki, Greece

This book provides the most comprehensive account of the history of the Greek language from its beginnings to late antiquity. In this revised and expanded translation of the Greek original published in 2001, a distinguished international team of scholars goes beyond a merely technical treatment of the subject by examining the language’s relationship with politics, society and culture. An attempt is made to cover all aspects of the history of Greek, including those that are usually considered marginal, such as obscene language, the language of the gods and child talk. Other topics which receive particular emphasis are language contact and translation practices in antiquity. The book’s clear organisation and concise chapters make it highly readable and accessible to non-specialists, and the text is supported by example passages from primary sources and numerous informative illustrations. It is an essential reference work for all those interested in the history of Greek.

Given the overall theme, the book would be of particular interest to those studying language typology.

R. LassUniversity of Cape Town

This series offers general accounts of the major language families of the world. Volumes are organized on either a genetic or a geographical basis, whichever yields the most convenient and intelligible grouping in each case. Each volume compares and contrasts the typological features of the languages it deals with. It also treats the relevant genetic relationships, historic development, and sociolinguistic issues arising from their role and use in the world today. The main readership is the student of linguistics or the general linguist, but some volumes have a wider appeal, especially where the future of the languages and their speakers raises important social and political issues.
