Diachronic Corpora, Genre, and Language Change
by Whitt, Ricard J Published by John BenjaminsPublished 2018.
This volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of the intersecting fields of corpus linguistics, historical linguistics, and genre-based studies of language usage. Papers in this collection are devoted to presenting relevant methods pertinent to the study of corpus-based studies of the connection between genre and language change, linguistic changes that occur genres, and studies of specific diachronic phenomena that are influenced by genre factors to greater and lesser degrees. Data are drawn from a few languages, and the scope of the studies presented here is both short- and long-term, covering cases of recent change as well as more long-term alterations.
