Review of Timofeeva (2022): Sociolinguistic Variation in Old English: Records of Communities and People.
- Authors
Rauer, Christine
- Abstract
This review discusses Olga Timofeeva's book, "Sociolinguistic Variation in Old English: Records of Communities and People," which explores the use of sociolinguistic approaches in the study of Old English. The book focuses on various social networks in early medieval England, including the court of King Alfred, legal documents, and multilingual media. Timofeeva's analysis is based on a range of literary genres and periods, and she utilizes databases such as PASE to gather data. The review acknowledges the challenges of studying sociolinguistics in this period due to the lack of assigned texts and geographical locations, but praises Timofeeva's insights and contributions to the field.
