This book is a corpus-based study examining thou and you in three speech-related genres from 15601760, a crucial period in the history of second person singular pronouns, spanning the time from when you became dominant to when thou became all but obsolete. The study embraces the fields of corpus linguistics, historical pragmatics, and historical sociolinguistics. Using data drawn from the recently released A Corpus of English Dialogues 15601760 and manuscript material, the aim is to ascertain which extra-linguistic and linguistic factors highlighted by previous research appear particularly relevant in the selection and relative distribution of thou and you. Previous research on thou and you has tended to concentrate on Drama and/or been primarily qualitative in nature. Depositions in particular have hitherto received very little attention. This book is intended to help fill a gap in the literature by presenting an in-depth qualitative and quantitative analysis of pronoun usage in Trials, Depositions, and, for comparative purposes, Drama Comedy.

In From County Cavan to Canada: The Simons - Simonds - Symonds Family, author Peggy Elizabeth Chatham compiles the stories of the first three generations of an Irish farmer family that established their new lives starting in the 1860's. Four Simons brothers and their Burke and Armstrong sisters settled in Megantic County in Quebec and Stormont County in Ontario. Their children married into families including Amadon, Bennett, Jamieson, Lunnie, Mathers, McVety, Ouderkirk, Perrigard, Savage, Stewart, Walker, and Wright. Their families have spread throughout the Canada provinces, New England States, and the U.S.A. Author P.E. Chatham was born in Toronto, raised in New Jersey, and attended college in Pennsylvania. Her description of the counties and the families will interest anyone with roots in historic Megantic and Stormont Counties.
