Book 154 of 360: Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs [TiLSM]
Synopsis
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary perspective. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing. To discuss your book idea or submit a proposal, please contact Birgit Sievert.

Reviews
A general guide for students and scholars to the various aspects of language change, first planned by the Subcommittee on Language Change of the Modern Language Association in the early 1980s, then delayed, and updated 1987-88. Over 30 papers include discussions of such topics as diachrony versus synchrony, linguistic reconstruction, the evidence and the context of language change, methods of study, theoretical models and other approaches, and the various types of change, for example phonological, morphological, syntactic, lexical, and the change from one language to another.
