A collection of essays by one of the premier historians of American
English, "Milestones in the History of English in America" is a
remarkable introduction to Allen Walker Read's work and the ways in
which archival materials can illuminate linguistic history. This
volume is divided into four sections: the emergence of American
English as a distinct form and the attitudes of both Britons and
Americans toward its development; the history of the most
distinctive and widespread American coinage, "O.K."; euphemism and
obscenity; and an autobiographical section that provides a
fascinating portrait of a remarkable American scholar.
