A history of the english language 386 Languages (Honolulu, 1975). A helpful introduction to generative grammar is C.L.Baker’s English Syntax (2nd ed., Cambridge, MA, 1995). The historiography of recent linguistics is given a readable treatment by Frederick J.Newmeyer, Linguistic Theory in America (2nd ed., Orlando, FL, 1986).

Some of them, such as the endings of the verb or the voicing of initial f in Southern and Kentish, are easily enough recognized.
