> Attached is Devitt (1989) "Standardizing written English. Diffusion in the
> case of Scotland 1520-1659".
> We will look at Chapters 2 and 3 of the book, mostly using them as rich
> sources of data about how language change proceeds on the scale of
> centuries, as opposed to decades that we looked at in Tagliamonte &
> D'Arcy's paper.
>
> I expect we will start the discussion of Devitt on the week of Sep 28-Oct
> 2, but will probably finish it only on Oct 7.
>
> In this text, take a look at the definition of the variables, and then at
> some graphs. We will mostly discuss those graphs and how they relate to
> each other and to what we read earlier.

> All the best,
