Book Description
This collection of articles covers a wide range of topics in English philology and history of linguistics. The volume proceeds from Old English studies offering a unique perspective and approach in literary and linguistic research into Anglo-Saxon England. Two articles deal with English phonology from both historical and contemporary standpoints, and another with a theoretical discussion of etymological inquiry. The last section contains three articles focusing on the history of linguistics or the history of ideas. The wide range of topics addressed in the 12 chapters of this volume reflects the diversity of interests in the research efforts of Shoichi Watanabe, professor emeritus at Sophia University, to whom this volume is dedicated by his former students. He is not only highly valued as a distinguished professor of English philology, but also acknowledged for his critique of civilization with his unique view of history and culture.

Book Description
Excerpt from Germanic Philology = 'th' in English 'think.' o = 'th' in English 'they.' ʒ = a front continuant like 'y' in Engl. 'yes.' 'z' = (exc. in High German in which it has either the value of 's' or of 'ts') 's' in 'rose' or 'z' in 'freeze.' O.N. 'v' = Engl. 'w.' O.Bg. 's' = Engl. 'sh.' O.Ind. 's' and 's' are variations of 'sh.' O.Ind. 'j' = 'j' in Engl. 'judge.' O.Ind. 'c' = 'ch' in Engl. 'child.' O.Ind. 'y' = 'y' in Engl. 'year.' Goth. 'ei' = 'i' in Engl. 'machine.' O.E. 'ae' = 'a' in Engl. 'man.' The sign generally denotes the syllable bearing the chief accent; in O.E., O.N., O.Norw., however, it marks a long vowel, which is denoted by - in the other languages. Other signs of pronunciation will be explained in the text itself, especially in the sections on sound-shifting. Prefixed to any word means that it is a hypothetical form.

Book Description
The first history of the German language to bridge the gap between the introductory handbook level and the more specialized journal articles, this volume offers students and teachers a treatment of the subject that is up to date, comprehensive, and stimulating. After outlining problems of language change and reviewing various theoretical approaches--including structuralist, generative, and sociolinguistic theories--Wells integrates internal and external linguistic history through the novel technique of perspective shift, using a different level of language to illustrate each period up to the 17th century. The author also discusses sociolinguistic developments in later medieval German, and provides a synthesis of recent material of the modern period that is not easily available.
