History of English - A Resource Book for Students (Paperback, 2nd edition)

Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of language study and are one-stop resources for students. Assuming no prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses, commentaries and key readings - all in the same volume. The innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional' structure is built around four sections - introduction, development, exploration and extension - which offer self-contained stages for study. Each topic can also be read across these sections, enabling the reader to build gradually on the knowledge gained. This revised second edition of History of English includes: a comprehensive introduction to the history of English covering the origins of English, the change from Old to Middle English, and the influence of other languages on English; increased coverage of key issues, such as the standardisation of English; a wider range of activities, plus answers to exercises; new readings of well-known authors such as Manfred Krug, Colette Moore, Merja Stenroos and David Crystal; a timeline of important external events in the history of English. Structured to reflect the chronological development of the English language, History of English describes and explains the changes in the language over a span of 1,500 years, covering all aspects from phonology and grammar, to register and discourse. In doing so, it incorporates examples from a wide variety of texts and provides an interactive and structured textbook that will be essential reading for all students of English language and linguistics.
