About
"Text types have become a central topic of historical linguistics. In particular, the development of modern standard languages in Europe after 1500 is intricately bound up with the emergence of stylistic conventions. Over 2000 designations of individual text types are given in this volume whose functions and development over time are discussed in correlation with their specific linguistic characteristics. The history of individual types are traced (advertisements, book dedications, cooking recipes, etc.), illustrating the componential analysis of their contents, which are correlated with formal changes caused by different period language and social changes in the readership."
