Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNThe History of English: An Introduction provides a chronological analysis of the linguistic, social, and cultural development of the English language from before its establishment in Britain around the year 450 to the present. Each chapter represents a new stage in the development of the language from Old English through Middle English to Modern Global English, all illustrated with a rich and diverse selection of primary texts showing changes in language resulting from contact, conquest and domination, and the expansion of English around the world.
The History of English goes beyond the usual focus on English in the UK and the USA to include the wider global course of the language during and following the Early Modern English period. This perspective therefore also includes a historical review of English in its pidgin and creole varieties and as a native and/or second language in the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and Australasia.
This new edition of The History of English has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout, and features:
The History of English is essential reading for any student of the English language, and will be of relevance to any course addressing the origins of the English language.
"This updated edition contains a wealth of new material and is thus a veritable treasure trove documenting the history and development of the English language. With its global perspective, detailed textual analyses, accessible style and fascinating historical, linguistic and cultural contextualisation, it cannot fail to enthuse and motivate students of the English language and their teachers."
Catherine Watts, University of Brighton, UK
"Stephan Gramley’s book provides a valuable description of the linguistic and sociocultural factors that have influenced the development of English from its origins to its current versions around the world. The variety of examples and material provides students of various academic backgrounds an accessible and thorough source to understand both the development and current state of English."
William J. Crawford, Northern Arizona University, USA
