Viac o knihe The English Language: A Historical Introduction (Cambridge Approaches to Linguistics) (Barber, C. - Beal, J. C. - Shaw, P. A.)
Where does today´s English come from? This new edition of the bestseller by Charles Barber tells the story of the language from its remote ancestry to the present day. In response to demand from readers, a brand new chapter on late modern English has been added, reflecting recent interest in the development of the language during this period. Using dozens of familiar texts, including the English of King Alfred, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Addison, the book surveys the state of the language through the ages and in a variety of contexts. This edition adds new material on English as a global language and explains the differences between the main varieties of English around the world. Complete with simple explanations of linguistic terms, this is the ideal introduction to the subject for students of English language and linguistics, and for all readers who are curious about language.
