Rezensionen

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.
