Synchronic linguistics vs Diachronic linguistics

[@fatimazohramimi]

I have a question if a researcher wanted to analyze William Shakespeare's tragedies would it be diachronic or synchronic?

[@compoling7353]

Synchronic, if no analytical comparision is made among language features across time, but diachronic if you analyse language development among tragedies across time

[@jayzelgracefarofil9690]

[@compoling7353]

You can start with basic textbooks, like Yule's The Study of Language, Explaining English Grammar, Oxford Practice Grammar Advanced
