New book co-authored by Ann Taylor

Posted on 4 November 2014

Ann Taylor wrote the chapter on Old English Syntax in the new book co-authored with Don Ringe (U. Pennsylvania) "The Development of Old English"

The Development of Old English, published in October 2014, is the second volume in A Linguistic History of English. It describes the development of Old English from Proto-Germanic. It is an internal history of the structure of English that combines traditional historical linguistics, modern syntactic theory, the study of languages in contact, and the variationist approach to language change. The book aims to make the findings of traditional historical linguistics accessible to scholars and students in other subdisciplines, and also to adopt approaches from contemporary theoretical linguistics in such a way that they are accessible to a wide range of historical linguists.
