Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge wenden das aus der kontrastiven Linguistik stammende Konzept des Sprachvergleichs auf die Diachronie an. Ziel ist, dadurch Aussagen zum Sprachwandel zu treffen, die über die Einzelsprache hinausgehende Generalisierungen erlauben. Auch erscheint eine Wandelerscheinung einer bestimmten Sprache vor der Folie vergleichbarer Entwicklungen schärfer konturiert; der Ansatz ermöglicht es somit auch, das Sprachspezifische einer Entwicklung zu erkennen. Sowohl der Vergleich verwandter als auch nicht (näher) verwandter Sprachen erweist sich dabei als lohnend. Beim Vergleich nahe verwandter Sprachsysteme ist die Frage zentral, weshalb sich eine bestimmte Sprache trotz identischer Ausgangslage anders entwickelt hat als die mit ihr nahe verwandte(n) Sprache(n); beim Vergleich nicht näher miteinander verwandter Systeme stellt sich dagegen die Frage, ob Verschiedenheiten in der Entwicklung für die jeweilige Sprachfamilie spezifisch sind. Die Beiträge unternehmen Sprachwandelvergleiche für phonologische, morphologische und syntaktische Phänomene. Die untersuchten Daten stammen v.a. aus der (diachron besonders gut belegten) indogermanischen Familie, daneben werden auch seltener betrachtete Sprachen abgedeckt.

Explanations for sound change have traditionally focused on identifying the inception of change, that is, the identification of perturbations of the speech signal, conditioned by physiological constraints on articulatory and/or auditory mechanisms, which affect the way speech sounds are analyzed by the listener. While this emphasis on identifying the nature of intrinsic variation in speech has provided important insights into the origins of widely attested cross-linguistic sound changes, the nature of phonologization - the transition from intrinsic phonetic variation to extrinsic phonological encoding - remains largely unexplored. This volume showcases the current state of the art in phonologization research, bringing together work by leading scholars in sound change research from different disciplinary and scholarly traditions. The authors investigate the progression of sound change from the perspectives of speech perception, speech production, phonology, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, psycholinguistics, computer science, statistics, and social and cognitive psychology. The book highlights the fruitfulness of collaborative efforts among phonologists and specialists from neighbouring disciplines in seeking unified theoretical explanations for the origins of sound patterns in language, as well as improved syntheses of synchronic and diachronic phonology.

The Continuum Companion to Historical Linguistics brings together a number of leading scholars who provide a combination of different approaches to current and new issues in historical linguistics, while supplying an exhaustive and up-to-date coverage of sub-fields traditionally regarded as central to historical linguistics research. The editors aim to build a solid background for further discussion and to indicate directions for new research on relevant open questions.
