This classroom-tested volume aspires to be a brief but technically and factually accurate exposition of linguistic description and history. Whether studied as prime subject or as background information, it should help students understand the assumptions and reasoning that underlie the contents of their handbooks and etymological dictionaries.This book should be a useful guide for anyone unfamiliar with (historical) linguistics who is studying the history of a language, and also for those who are enrolled in courses devoted to reading texts in old languages.
Language in History
By bringing together linguistic and critical theory with historical and political consciousness, Tony Crowley provides a new agenda for the study of language in history. In particular he draws attention to the fact that this field has always been firmly rooted in a deeply political context. And he demonstrates how that context has directed the study of language in history. Language in History represents a major contribution to the field and is an essential text for anyone interested in critical and cultural theory; it also provides an important contextualisation of many debates which have influenced literary studies.
Language and History
In recent years integrationist theory has mounted a radical challenge to the traditional notion of 'languages' as possible objects of inquiry. This volume develops the integrationist critique of orthodox linguistics.
