An Historical Study of English by Jeremy Smith
Through his analysis of selected major developments in the history of English, Jeremy Smith argues that the history of the language can only be understood from a dynamic perspective. The reader is provided with a synthesis of recent developments in English historical linguistics.'In this book the dynamic and interactive nature of linguistic change is well documented.. throughout the book close analysis of data is sucessfully combined with sociolinguistic insights in a search for understanding of the mechanisms of change. The result is often an exciting synthesis and always a stimulating one.' - Language & Linguistics, Vol 2. No. 198
