An Introduction to Early Modern English
TERTTU NEVALAINEN
An introduction to Early Modern English, this book helps students of English and
linguistics to place the language of the period
1500-1700
in its historical context as a
language with a common core but also as one which varies across time, regionally and
socially, and according to register. The volume focuses on the structure of what
contemporaries called the General Dialect
-
its spelling, vocabulary, grammar and
pronunciation
-
and on its dialectal origins. The book also discusses the language
situation and linguistic anxieties in England at a time when Latin exerted a strong
influence on the rising standard language.
The volume includes:
•
The major changes in English from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century
•
Emphasis on long-term linguistic developments
•
Sources for the study of Early Modern English
•
Illustrations ranging from drama and personal letters to trials and early science
•
Exercises encouraging further exploration of the changing English language.
Terttu Nevalainen is Professor of English Philology at the University of Helsinki, and has
taught the history of English in Finland and in England.
