“A wonderful encapsulation of the field by cutting-edge
scholars, inspired by the fin de siècle burst of
research success in English historical linguistics. A must-read for
all English language historians interested in how far we have come
toward resolving the issues left open by Jespersen, Luick, Wyld,
Sweet, and the other great philologists. It offers vastly deeper
access to these problems, both through computer corpora and through
new theoretical insights. Brilliant and often definitive.”
Robert Stockwell, UCLA
"As with The Handbook of English Linguistics, I enjoyed different
insights and would also use it for state-of-the-art summaries and
additional reading."
