This volume is a compilation of articles by international scholars active in the field of English historical linguistics. The majority of the studies are revised versions of papers presented at a workshop on “Clausal Connectives in the History of English” at the 13th International Conference of English Historical Linguistics (ICEHL) in Vienna on the 23–28 August 2004.

This book examines the Flavian, Antonine and Severan conquests of Scotland and the fortifications along Rome's northern frontier, and it explores the archaeological remains and places them in historical context.

This book shows how the generative approach to linguistics may be used to understand how languages change. Generative diachronic syntax has developed since the inception of the principles and parameters approach to comparative syntax in the early 1980s: it has become increasingly important in historical linguistics and generative theory, acting as a bridge between them and providing insights to both. Ian Roberts relates work in historical linguistics to contemporary work on universal grammar and historical syntactic variation. He explains how standard questions in historical linguistics - including word-order change, grammaticalization, and reanalysis - can be explored in terms of current generative theory. He examines the nature of the links between syntactic change and first-language acquisition and considers the short and long-term effects of language contact. Professor Roberts provides numerous examples from a range of different languages, guides to further reading, and a comprehensive glossary. This is the ideal textbook introduction for students of syntactic change.

This is a delightful little tome for anyone who likes numbers,their significance and even a bit of mathematical curiosity thrown in.
There are many books around that deal with Numerology and particularly ones that use numbers and their associations to predict the future. The difference with this book is that it covers many more areas where numbers come into play.
It covers a lot of historical aspects and significience of numbers and many numbers that immediately bring to mind historical events, 1776 being an example.
It also touches on fields of Recreational Mathematics such as Magic Squares and even Magic Triangles.
There are even sections that deal with statistics for the Continents.

From Naming to Saying explores the classicquestion of the unity of the proposition, combining an historical approach with contemporary causal theories to offer a unique and novel solution.

    * Defends a novel approach to the classical question about the unity of the proposition.
    * Examines three key historical theories: Frege’s doctrine of concept and object, Russell’s analysis of the sentence, and Wittgenstein’s picture theory of meaning.
    * Combines an historical approach with discussion and defense of a contemporary causal theory of the unity of the proposition.
    * Establishes a view compatible with, though not dependent on, a causal theory of meaning.
