    From Old English to Standard English: A Course Book in Language Variations Across Time

    Dennis Freeborn “From Old English to Standard English: A Course Book in Language Variations Across Time "
    Palgrave Macmillan; 3 edition (December 12, 2006) | ISBN: 1403998809 | PDF | 218 pages | 10,4 Mb

    This practical and informative course book leads the student through the development of the language from Old English, through Middle and Early Modern English to the establishment of Standard English in the eighteenth century.
    At the core of the book is a series of nearly two hundred historical texts, of which more than half are reproduced in facsimile, exemplifying the progressive changes in the language. The book is firmly based upon linguistic description, with commentaries forming a series of case studies which demonstrate the evidence for language change at every level - handwriting, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary, grammar and meaning.

    Various activities are offered throughout the book to encourage the students to study data at first hand, using texts and facsimiles, and to consider possible reasons for what they observe.
