Introduction: Complicating Corpus Methods in Historical English Language Studies
This essay introduces a special issue exploring strategies for complicating corpus methods in historical English language studies: both the ways that corpus methods can accommodate the complications of historical work and the ways that scholars can productively complicate the tools in order to enrich our use of digital archives. It highlights limitations of data, issues of variable orthography, and deductive versus inductive approaches. The essay…
Introduction: Variation, Indigeneity, and Heritage in Historical English Language Studies
This essay introduces a special issue exploring the topics of variation, indigeneity, and heritage in historical English language studies.

Linguists and teachers collaborating in an ELA classroom: Teaching around the test

A focus on the final activity, in which students were asked to explore how linguistic concepts relate to areas of the everyday world like …
The History of -eer in English: Suffix Competition or Symbiosis
Ecological models of competition have provided great explanatory power regarding synonymy in derivational morphology. Competition models of this type have certainly shown their utility, as they have demonstrated, among other things, the relevance of frequency measures, productivity, compositionality and analyzability when comparing the development of morphological constructions. There has been less consideration of alternative models that could b…
Pandialectal Learning
In March 2020, Georgia schools suddenly transitioned to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic—a week before the authors were to begin a Global Englishes curriculum in a 10th-grade classroom. This abrupt shift introduced many unknowns, including how the material would transition to a teleschool format and how well the students would handle the content and activities during such a tumultuous time

Measuring children's needs: How are we doing
Children's services in England and Wales are legally required to determine the nature and extent of children's needs in their areas as a precursor to providing needs‐led services. However, few needs assessments are ever published. This article analyses 83 such reports conducted between 1999 and 2007 in two local authorities in England (one urban, one rural), focusing on their quality and usefulness. It makes recommendations for improving practice…
