A Glossary of Historical Linguistics
LYLE CAMPBELL & MAURICIO J. MIXCO
Historical Linguistics – the study of language change – is a major field in
linguistics. With its long history and numerous subfields of its own, Historical
Linguistics provides challenges to both beginning students and scholars not
specialized in this field. This Glossary meets these challenges by providing
accessible and widely representative definitions, discussion, and examples of
key terms and concepts used in the field. It is written by two well-known
authorities in this field. The book is extremely valuable to anyone wishing to
understand historical linguistic terminology and concepts.
Key Features
• A handy, easily understandable pocket guide, and a valuable companion for
courses in Historical Linguistics, history of individual languages, history of
linguistics, and for anyone curious about how and why languages change
• Numerous cross-references to related terms
• Covers new as well as traditional terminology
• Not only defines, but provides examples and relevant discussion
