The 'correct' use of English has been the subject of vigorous
debate in recent years. But what defines 'correctness' in our use
of language? And how has this altered over time? In this
authoritative survey of the history of the English language, the
author examines how linguistic traditions have changed and
developed over the centuries to produce the language that we are
familiar with today.
Taking present-day usage as its starting point, the book uses a
topic-based approach to explore the historical development of
vocabulary, grammar, syntax, sounds and spellings, thus providing
both a firm sense of the structure of the language and an outline
of its history.
