Standardizing Written English: Diffusion in the Case of Scotland, 1520–1659
Amy J. Devitt
This book offers a new view of the linguistic process of standardization, the movement of specific language features towards uniformity. Drawing on theoretical arguments and empirical data, it examines the way in which linguistic conformity develops out of variation, and the textual and social factors which influence this process.
