Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the long-held belief that Americans speak English, arguing instead that American language is a distinct, evolved language with its origins in a rich tapestry of tongues from around the world. The author traces the evolution of American language from its Anglo-Saxon roots, through its incorporation of words from Spanish, French, Dutch, and many other languages. The book explores the influence of Shakespeare and the King James Bible on the development of American language, and examines how it has spread globally, becoming the language of diplomacy, science, and commerce. This book offers a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the history, evolution, and significance of American language, shedding light on the complex relationship between language, culture, and national identity.
