NEW TEXT TO COME T h EDINBURGH HISTORICAL LINGUISTICS e Series Editors: Joseph Salmons and David Willis E T h e E d i n b u r g h d i Edinburgh Historical Linguistics is a series of advanced textbooks, where individual volumes n cover key subfields within Historical Linguistics in depth. The series provides a b D i c t i o n a r y o f u comprehensive introduction to this broad and increasingly complex field. r g h MOD D ANALOGY AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGE i c t i o ‘Fertig’s valuable and insightful book on analogy and morphological change is n an extremely welcome contribution to the field.’ a r Lyle Campbell, University of Hawai’i at Manoa y o This advanced textbook provides a thorough, critical examination of traditional approaches f E R N M to analogical change and an in-depth introduction to important recent work in a variety of O frameworks. Key topics include the relationship between covert reanalysis and overt D innovation, the relative importance of acquisition, repetition, and speaker creativity in E grammatical change, the status of several supposedly less important types of change R including folk etymology, blending, and back formation, and various aspects of the N relationship between analogical change and sound change. It also takes a close look at I S the value of concepts such as ‘naturalness’ for explaining and predicting directions of M I S M change. Although the focus is on morphological change, the book also examines the role of analogy in syntactic, semantic, and phonological change. Numerous examples are provided from V English and a wide variety of other languages, making this an absorbing and illuminating a a n s d s read for advanced students in linguistics. O ilik E David Fertig is Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University at lga i Ko dited Buffalo (SUNY). He is the author of Morphological Change Up Close(2000).

Our warmest thanks and gratitude go to them. As ever, Jackie Jones at Edinburgh University Press proved the ideal editor: patient, supportive and insightful. We thank her and her team at EUP, par- ticularly Adela Rauchova and James Dale, who saw us through the final stages of the publication process. Special thanks are also due to Randall Stevenson, who was central to the inception of this project. vi A Note on Entries A dictionary of modernism might appear to be a contradiction in terms: how to define and contain such a complex, diverse and often conflicting set of practices and concepts that often actively position themselves against categorisation, fixed definition or listing? That is a productive paradox, however, as modernism may itself dictate ways of thinking openly and oppositionally about its contemporary moments and operations. From our initial vision for this project, it became clear that we could not approach modernism without the meta-languages that it had itself created. In that respect, we decided to focus on the terms, concepts and movements articulated in and by modernism to offer a genealogy of sorts that places them within a historical perspective while also tracing their afterlife. The dictionary contains 247 entries but cannot claim to be exhaustive. Rather, the list of entries included here is generative. Through cross-referencing and suggestions for further reading, readers are encouraged, and we hope enabled, to create their own map of modernism based on the coordinates of key fact, contextu- alisation and often unique focus provided by our selection and the contributors’ approach. Each entry contains cross references to other entries (capitalised on their first occurrence) that expand and finesse the understanding of each term. The terms themselves move across disciplines, genres and chronological boundaries, and aim to capture the complex provenance and multiple manifestations and implica- tions of a practice or notion associated with modernism. The entries are of varying lengths: approximately 200, 500 or 1,000 words, tackling in each case the importance for modernism of a movement (e.g. ‘Anarchism’, ‘Bolshevism’, ‘Surrealism’); concept (e.g. ‘aura’, ‘clinamen’, ‘parataxis’); formal feature (e.g. ‘allusion’, ‘stream of consciousness’, ‘montage’); art form (e.g. ‘dance’, ‘Noh theatre’, ‘opera’); project or grouping (e.g. ‘Collège de sociologie’, ‘Harlem Renaissance’, ‘Living Newspaper’); historical, political, scientific or disciplinary frame (‘Communism’, ‘Mathematics’, ‘Translation’, ‘War’); line of influence (e.g. ‘Bergsonism’, ‘Wagnerism’); recurrent vii A Note on Entries figures and motifs (e.g. ‘the flâneur’, ‘machine’, ‘silence’); related formation (‘British Poetry Revival’, ‘The Edwardians’, ‘The New Apocalypse’); event (‘The Entartete Kunst exhibition’, ‘The World’s Fair’). They include examples, a short list of reading suggestions and works cited where appropriate. ‘Modernism’ features as the first entry, by way of brief introduction.
