History of English by Jonathan Culpeper

An introduction to all the key areas of language and linguistics, this is the useful guide to this core subject. Written in a simple style, with all technical concepts fully explained, it provides 'discussion points' to generate debate and involves readers in collecting and analysing their own data.

'This second edition … retains the outstanding features of the first edition – it covers all the topics relevant to a study of the history of EnglishIn addition, the second edition brings with it a new rigour and a fuller and more careful and detailed account of, in particular, spelling and speech sounds, grammar, dialects and standardisation. I congratulate the author on the improvements made in this second edition.'Sue Powell, University of Salford, UK

Jonathan Culpeper is based a the Department of Linguistics and Modern English Language at the University of Lancaster.
