Abstract

"Late Modern English has traditionally been considered a period of stability with regard to language standardization, but a cautious look at crucial aspects of its internal and external history reveals that the period still deserves some scholarly attention. This book aims at presenting valuable tools for the study of Late Modern English along with a selection of studies that approach linguistic variation from various perspectives. In the first part, this book provides an account of the main available corpora for the study of Late Modern English, representative of different text types (medical English or private correspondence, among others), dialects and early new varieties. In the second part, several corpus-based studies assess Late Modern English at different levels so as to shed light on the status of the language of the period"--
