Course Content
The course aims to: (i) provide a scholarly historical dimension to students knowledge of the English language and its cultural contexts; (ii) a practical foundation for issues/methods in the study of language variation and change. Within a chronological framework that starts before the Anglo-Saxon incursions of c.450 AD and goes up to the present day, the course will present both theories and studies of language changes in English.
