The present volume gathers a diverse group of linguists from around the world to delve into the intricate cycles of language change across the globe. Historical linguistics goes beyond merely reconstructing a language's past and investigating the mechanisms behind previous language shifts; it also encompasses broader inquiries into the development and ongoing evolution of languages. The chapters in this book draw upon data from both ancient languages, such as Hittite, Proto-Turkic, and Proto-Bantu, as well as contemporary languages, including Akan, Cantonese, Kuuk Thaayorre, Seliš-Ql ispé, Nivaclé, and Spanish. These contributions exemplify the dynamism and interdisciplinary nature of historical linguistics, showcasing the latest research in the field.
