A Biography of the English LanguageHolt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1989 - 386 pàgines "The second edition of A Biography of the English Language continues to examine the structure of language. The textbook discusses three important issues: languages and language change are systematic; the inner history of a language is profoundly affected by its outer history of political and culural events; and the English of the past has everywhere left its traces on present-day English. By uncovering the language's past, one can better communicate with it." -- Amazon.com viewed December 29, 2020. |
