Historical linguistics / Theodora Bynon - 1a - Estados Unidos : Cambridge University Press, 1999 - 310 p. : 15.2 x 22.7 cm

Historical Linguistics is concerned with the process of language change through time. In investigates how and why the language of individuals, a social group of a whole 'speech community' develops in respect of its pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. Dr. Bynon regards language as essentially a dynamic phenomenon, whose character can be at best only partly understood by a static, and necessarily idealized, synchronic approach.
