Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This book is a detailed investigation of the ways in which language changes over the course of time. It's fascinating to see how the English language has evolved and changed over the centuries, developing entirely new expressions and slang to reflect the times. The author, who is well-versed in the history of linguistics, describes the origins of various words and phrases used commonly in the English language and how the language continues to change, grow, and adapt. The book shows how English as a language ranks amongst the most unique and diverse of all the world's languages. This book is an eye-opening analysis of the historical and continuing development of the English language.
