Explains the uniquely American cultural references that appear in
American English for students and professionals to increase their
written command of the language. Language is a window into the soul
of a culture. The hardest part for newcomers who want to master
American English is not learning the alphabet, grammar, or
vocabulary — it's understanding the distinctive way Americans
approach the world. This book shows readers how to do just that.
The American Way of Writing guides readers through the nuances of
American English, providing a toolkit for non-native speakers who
come to the United States to study, as well as international
business and legal professionals who have to work and communicate
with Americans in a professional or business context. Understanding
what makes Americans uniquely "American" is a challenging subject
for anyone to master. Such characteristics are always in flux and a
source of constant debate. Steven D. Stark's comprehensive approach
to American English in The American Way of Writing is suited to
Americans and foreigners alike, offering a deeper understanding of
the ties that bind rather than divide.
