About this book
Reviews
'This volume relies on a wealth of primary sources, which the author investigates with great accuracy, thus giving a very detailed picture of how Late Modern English commentators approached phonological variation at the segmental level. The comments provided by the authors discussed shed considerable light on how speakers saw their usage and strove to change or maintain it. As a result, this valuable study sets itself at the crossroads between historical phonology, historical dialectology, and historical perceptual dialectology.' Professor Marina Dossena, Universita' degli Studi di Bergamo, Italy
'...it is an essential work of reference for any scholar with an interest in the history of English linguistics in this period.' - Joan C. Beal, Historiographia Linguistica
