| Sumario: | The main aim of this paper is to establish the position of historical linguistics in the wider field of linguistics. Section 1 centres on the immediate and long term goals of historical linguistics. Section 2 discusses the type of data that play a role and looks at tools to be used for the analysis of the data.

This latter point automatically leads to the question as to what type of grammatical model or theory the historical linguist. |
