Carol Myers-Scotton has edited a collection of essays that covers the choice of one style of English over another in everything from Bible translations to "surprise in poetry" to supervisor-worker interactions on the automobile assembly line. An important theme developed to varying degrees in these papers is the notion that speakers and writers, as rational actors, exploit the unmarked-marked opposition regarding audience expectations so as to convey messages of intentionality charged with social or psychological import.
Since the publication of Kennedy's monumental Bibliography of Writings on the English Language, no bibliography has systematically surveyed the Old and Middle English scholarship accumulated over the past 60 years. Tajima's work aims to meet the need for an updated bibliography of Old and Middle English language studies; it lists books, monographs, dissertations, articles, notes, and reviews on Old and Middle English language. The items have been listed into fourteen fairly broad categories: (1) Bibliographies, (2) Dictionaries, glossaries and concordances, (3) Histories of the English language, (4) Grammars (historical, Old English and Middle English), (5) General and miscellaneous studies, (6) Language of individual authors or works, (7) Orthography and punctuation, (8) Phonology and phonetics, (9) Morphology, (10) Syntax, (11) Lexicology, lexicography and word-formation, (12) Onomastics, (13) Dialectology, (14) Stylistics.

Jacqueline M. Henkel explores the impact of linguistics and ordinary language philosophy on literary theory over the past four decades. Her readings of key texts relocate the principal literary issues raised by the interaction between these fields. She shows how various linguistic models - among them Saussurean and Prague School linguistics, generative grammar, and speech-act theory - have affected such major movements in literary criticism as stylistics, Jakobsonian structuralism, narratology, reader-oriented criticism, and deconstruction and its offshoots. Among the major figures she discusses, in addition to Saussure and Jakobson, are Chomsky, Derrida, Austin, and Searle.
