The history and development of English, from the earliest known
writings to its status today as a dominant world language, is a
subject of major importance to linguists and historians. In this
book, a team of international experts cover the entire recorded
history of the English language, outlining its development over
fifteen centuries. With an emphasis on more recent periods, every
key stage in the history of the language is covered, with full
accounts of standardisation, names, the distribution of English in
Britain and North America, and its global spread. New historical
surveys of the crucial aspects of the language are presented, and
historical changes that have affected English are treated as a
continuing process, helping to explain the shape of the language
today. This complete and up-to-date history of English will be
indispensable to all advanced students, scholars and teachers in
this prominent field.
