Croft, William. Explaining language change. An evolutionary approach. Harlow, England: Pearson Education, 2000.
"Ever since the origins of both linguistics and evolutionary biology in the 19th century, scholars have noted the similarity between biological evolution and language change. Yet until recently neither linguistics nor biologists have developed a model of evolution general enough to apply across the two fields. Even in linguistics, the field is split between the historical linguists who study change in language structure, and the sociolinguists who study social variation in the speech community".

Miller, D. Gary. Language change and linguistic theory. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010. Vol. 1 Approaches, methodology, and sound change. Vol. 2 Morphological, syntactic, and typological change
"This two volume work examines every aspect of language change and two centuries of linguistic approaches towards understanding it. The enterprise opens with a consideration of the nature of language and what constitutes language change. Gary Miller argues that a single overarching theory is insufficient to encompass the protean mix of linguistic, social, political, and cognitive factors involved in linguistic diachrony."

"Lexicalization, a process of language change, has been conceptualized in a variety of ways. Broadly defined as the adoption of items into the lexicon, it has been viewed by some as the reverse process of grammaticalization, by others as a routine process of word-formation, and by others still as the development of idiomatic meanings. The authors examine the various conceptualizations of lexicalizations that have been presented in the literature". Ver en Catálogo Bello

""This small but tightley packed volume is easily the most substantial discussion of speech acts since John Austin's How to do things with words, and one of the most important contributions to the philosophy of language in recent decades. The core of the volume is a pattern of analysis for illocutionary acts, and for the "subsdidiary acts" of referring and predicating, together with associated accounts of what it is for certain kinds of linguistic expression to mean what they do and of what it is for a speaker to mean something by what he says".

"'Inability to explain a fact does not condemn me to accept an intrinsically repugnant and incomprehensible theory'. Roger Lass uses this epigram from Nelson Goodman in a spirit of lively complaint against the naivety and introspection of most current linguistic theory. He writes as a practising, if not always believing, linguist, concerned about the nature of argumentation within linguistics and the status of its data and theoretical." Ver en Catálogo Bello

"Ten years of research support the bold new theory advanced by authors Thomason and Kaufman, who rescue the study of contact-induced language change from the neglect it has suffered in recent decades. The authors establish an important new framework for the historical analysis of all degrees of contact-induced language change. This volume offers a major synthesis that will serve scholars in a range of linguistic pursuits." Ver en Catálogo Bello

"With every speech act all individuals perform, to a greater or less extent, an 'act of identity', revealing through their personal use of language their sense of social and ethnic solidarity or difference. Yet at the same time people also have powerful (if unconscious) steereotypes about the norms and standards of their own language and those of others - often at variance with observable behaviour."
