Evolving English Explored by Julian Walker
Accompanying the British Library's new exhibition, Evolving English, 'Evolving English Explored' investigates where the language came from, how it's changing and where it's going. This lively, witty and fascinating book by Julian Walker explores: - The factors that have shaped the language over 1500 years - How English has developed in different parts of the world - How different groups have developed English to suit their own needs - Why we have such a vast vocabulary, how we swear, and how we know a poem is a poem - How literature has affected how we speak, though writing and speaking are so distinct - How spelling, punctuation, and grammar have changed over time - And how we continually make and break the rules.| SKU | Unavailable |
