Ingrid Tieken-Boon van Ostade, Leiden University, has acquired an eminent international reputation within the field of English historical sociolinguistics. Her research focuses on the formation of the rules of English grammar at the tail end of the language’s standardisation process, i.e. codification (grammar books) and prescription (style guides). In her research, she makes frequent use of private letters from the period.
