Divided into five sections, the volume encompass a wide range of approaches and addresses issues in the following areas:
- historical perspectives
- methods and models
- language change
- interfaces
- regional summaries
Each of the thirty-two chapters is written by a specialist in the field and provides: a introduction to the subject; an analysis of the relationship between the diachronic and synchronic study of the topic; an overview of the main current and critical trends; and examples from primary data. The Routledge Handbook of Historical Linguistics is essential reading for researchers and postgraduate students working in this area.
