{"product_id":"principles-of-historical-linguistics-hans-henrich-hock-9783110129625","title":"Principles of Historical Linguistics","description":"Historical 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Henrich Hock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110129620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110129625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.50d","brand":"Hans Henrich Hock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995205239039,"sku":"9783110129625","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39e1a452-5806-4023-9727-fea0abbf3187.jpg?v=1683334459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/principles-of-historical-linguistics-hans-henrich-hock-9783110129625","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
