I am interested in the differences found between modern standard British English and that of mid-Victorian.?

Question

I am particularly interested in rules underlying use of compund words and how these rules have changed. Another focus in this interest is to establish how word meanings have changed. Finally, to establish how much spoken mid-Victorian British English may have resembled written forms of the time an how that compares to modern standard British English . My question: Can anyone suggest some excellent references?

Answer 1

*An excelent reference would be the library or the web. Sounds like you have a paper to write for school.*

Answer 2

There are countless ameliorations in the vowels and diphthongs that impression Australian English and are not found in British English. Peter Trudgill's e book, "global English" is an fairly solid source for the information of those vowel differences. There are some syntactic differences besides.
