Description
[...] all authors contribute to historical linguistics in more than one respect: First, they present new findings for the specific subject areas discussed in their chapters; secondly, they offer suggestions and generalisations regarding the discourse colony, text-type or genre under scrutiny; and thirdly, the authors directly or indirectly raise methodological issues for future studies of thier topics. Seen as a whole, the book has pioneering spirit in that it names and outlines central problems with which historical linguistics today is faced. These problems range from difficulties of contextualisation to issues of systematic analysis of data.
