This book traces the development of Greek from Proto-Indo-European to around the 5th century BC, drawing on all the tools of scientific historical and comparative linguistics. It contributes to long-standing debates surrounding the classification of Ancient Greek dialects and discusses the tension between cladistics and contact phenomena.

This volume explores the ways in which historical linguistics and language change interact with ideology. The chapters present twelve in-depth case studies that cover topics ranging from the location of the Indo-European homeland to language policy in the former Yugoslavia.

This volume offers new perspectives on the tension between the rich patterns of language variation that emerge from comparative studies and the quest for simple theoretical primitives. The chapters analyze a wide range of phenomena, and relate them to fundamental questions of universality, linguistic variation, and learnability.

This volume showcases the most innovative current scholarship in historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and in the burgeoning field of historical sociolinguistics which lies at their intersection. The work is underpinned by a range of different approaches and highlights new directions for linguistic research on the French language.

This book deals with the category of case and where to place it in grammar. Chapters explore a range of issues relating to the division between syntactic Case and morphological case, investigating the relevant phenomena, and drawing on data from a variety of typologically diverse languages.

'The Victorians and English Dialect' tells the story of the Victorians' discovery of English dialect, and of the revaluation of local language that was brought about by the new, historical philology of the nineteenth century.
