{"product_id":"principles-of-historical-linguistics-1","title":"Principles of Historical Linguistics","description":"\u003cp\u003eHistorical linguistic theory and practice contains a great number of different 'layers' which have been accepted in the course of time and have acquired a permanency of their own. These range from neogrammarian conceptualizations of sound change and analogy to present-day ideas on rule change and language mixture. To get a full grasp of the principles of historical linguistics it is therefore necessary to understand the nature and justifications (or shortcomings) of each of these 'layers', not just to look for a single 'overarching' theory. The major purpose of the book is to provide in up-to-date form such an understanding of the principles of historical linguistics and the related fields of comparative linguistics and linguistic reconstruction. In addition, the book provides a very broad exemplification of the principles of historical linguistics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57333133836632,"sku":"9783110106008","price":254.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783110106008_533df37e-cc72-4c54-82f2-e33868c9c5e0.jpg?v=1780038041","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/principles-of-historical-linguistics-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
