Beschreibung
This volume is a collection of papers presented at the third international conference of The Society of Historical English Language and Linguistics (SHELL) held at Hiroshima University, Japan, in August 2009. The Society aims to bring together linguistics and philology and encourage younger scholars, graduate and undergraduate students to read and publish papers in the fields of English historical linguistics and philology. The papers included in this volume cover various subjects in the history of English language and literature, but concentrate on the language and style of Geoffrey Chaucer, a theme pursued for years at Hiroshima University.
