Description

This scholarly work integrates history, archaeology, and human evolutionary genetics to illuminate the origins of the Germanic languages and their speakers in Northwestern Europe. The book restores historical linguistics to its central role in understanding linguistic development, tracing the Germanic language family from the first millennium BC through the crucial early medieval period. By examining language contact as a formative force, the text explores how interaction between speech communities shaped English, German, Dutch, and related languages during transformative centuries of cultural and linguistic change.

Key Features

Combines historical linguistics with archaeology and evolutionary genetics to explain Germanic language origins from the first millennium BC onwards.

Traces the development of English, German, Dutch, and the broader Germanic language family through documented language contact patterns.

Focuses on speakers and their interactions rather than treating languages as isolated systems, offering a human-centred historical perspective.

Part of the established Routledge Studies in Linguistics series, providing peer-reviewed scholarly analysis of language evolution.

Examines the early medieval period as a crucially important era when Germanic languages underwent significant transformation through contact.
