- Double-weighted statement
- This is a single-author monograph, bringing together recent approaches in evolutionary linguistics with detailed corpus work on the Middle English period to a novel account of language change. It satisfies the following criteria:
-the book is “a longer-form output demonstrating sustained research effort”
-data analysis is based on “analysis of a large body of material”
-by presenting this analysis as part of an argument for bringing together game theory and corpus linguistics, the author makes a “presentation of a critical insight or argument which was dependent upon the completion of a lengthy period of data collection or investigation of materials”.
