Resumen

• Late Modern English has traditionally been considered a period of linguistic stability in terms of language standardization. However, a careful examination of crucial aspects of its internal and external history reveals that this period still deserves scholarly attention. This book aims to offer valuable tools for the study of Late Modern English, along with a selection of studies that approach linguistic variation from various perspectives.

  In the first part, the book provides an account of some available corpora for the study of Late Modern English, representing different text types such as medical English or private correspondence, among others. Additionally, these corpora cover various dialects and early new varieties of English.

  In the second part, several corpus-based studies assess Late Modern English at different levels shedding light on the language of the period.
