They are always subject to internal variation. The field of variational pragmatics, which looks at synchronic variation in different varieties of the same language, started officially in 2008 with the volume Variational Pragmatics. Research into diachronic variability on the level of language use is conducted in the field of historical pragmatics. Historical pragmatics is predominantly based on the wider conceptualisation of pragmatics which includes the social and cultural context of language use. This chapter reviews some of the relevant work in historical pragmatics. Historical pragmatics has to rely on data and on methodologies that differ somewhat from those used in other branches of pragmatics. Diachronic pragmatics deals with the changes of pragmatic features over time. Diachronic change can either be studied by comparing two different points in time, or by tracing the development of pragmatic features over a certain period. date: 2017 publisher: Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00031986 official_url: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781315668925-9/variation-change-andreas-jucker-daniela-landert ppn_swb: 1839912863 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-319863 language: eng bibsort: JUCKERANDRVARIATIONA2017 full_text_status: public series: Routledge Handbooks in Applied Linguistics place_of_pub: London ; New York pagerange: 79-90 isbn: 978-1-317-36257-9 book_title: The Routledge Handbook of Pragmatics edition: Accepted Manuscript citation: Jucker, Andreas H. ; Landert, Daniela (2017) Variation and change: historical pragmatics.
