Inhaltsangabe

In a world of global communication and social networking the many dialects that are spoken around this island nation have come under increasing threat. English has always been in a process of flux. The invasion led by William the Conqueror in 1066, for example, brought in Norman French, which came to sit alongside _ or often replace _ the existing Anglo-Saxon. An astonishing variety of different dialects once existed, but developments in communication, from the printing press to the internet, have led to increasing standardisation of vocabulary and grammar. This book will help you understand the unique and ancient Kent dialect and have you talking like a native in no time. The book includes a dictionary to help you develop an altogether new vocabulary, plus a wonderful collection of tales and anecdotes, all chosen to illustrate different aspects of the delightful local dialect. This paperback book has 80 pages and measures: 18 x 11 x 0.6cm
