This Routledge Linguistics Classic is here reissued with a new
preface, a new final chapter and a revised bibliography. Authority
in Language explores the perennially topical and controversial
notion of correct and incorrect language. James and Lesley Milroy
cover the long-running debate over the teaching of Standard English
in Britain and compare the language ideologies in Britain and the
USA, involving a discussion of the English-Only movement and the
Ebonics controversy. They consider the historical process of
standardisation and its social consequences, in particular
discrimination against low status and ethnic minority groups on the
basis of their language traits. In the new final chapter, James and
Lesley Milroy look at the histories created over some centuries for
English, considering the scholarly activity itself as ideologically
loaded. Authority in Language is indispensable reading for
educationalists, teachers and linguists and a long-standing text
for courses in sociolinguistics, modern English grammar, history of
English and language ideology.
