Series preface
Modern diachronic linguistics has important contacts with other subdisciplines,
notably first-language acquisition, learnability theory, computational linguistics,
sociolinguistics and the traditional philological study of texts. It is now recognized
in the wider field that diachronic linguistics can make a novel contribution to
linguistic theory, to historical linguistics, and arguably to cognitive science more
widely.
Thisseriesprovidesaforumforworkinbothdiachronicandhistoricallinguistics,
including work on change in grammar, sound, and meaning within and across
languages; synchronic studies of languages in the past; and descriptive histories of
oneormorelanguages.Itisintendedtoreflectandencouragethelinksbetweenthese

The goal of the series is to publish high-quality monographs and collections of
