Présentation de l'éditeur :
A revolution in language publishing Superbly illustrated in colour throughout, this is the most comprehensive reference book on the history, structure and worldwide use of English ever written. Clear and accessible, the book abounds with insights into how the language evolved and how it works. All aspects of English are covered: • the history of English • grammar, pronunciation and spelling • spoken and written English • regional and social variations - accents and dialects • new words, jargon, slang and clichés • English in use - in science, law, politics, advertising, the media … • the huge range and creativity of the English vocabulary • language in literature and language in humour • teaching and learning the language • English as a world language • the future of English Photographs, advertisements, cartoons, quotations, newspaper cuttings, poems, anecdotes and examples vividly complement the text throughout, bringing life, surprise and humour to even the most complex topics. No language student or language lover should be without this unique and fascinating book.
