Speech Representation in the History of English

Topics and Approaches

Herausgeber: J Grund, Peter; Walker, Terry

Beschreibung

This volume explores how speakers and writers mark, structure, and discuss a previous speech event or fictional speech in historical periods. Focusing on the Early Modern English and the Late Modern English periods, the book covers multiple genres including witness depositions, literary texts, letters, histories, and spoken language. The chapters draw on historical sociolinguistics, historical pragmatics, and corpus linguistics to show a wide array of approaches to the study of speech representation in the history of English.
