Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the historically erroneous nature of the English language orthography, examining multiple authors' attempts over the centuries to 'improve' the spelling and grammar of the language. The author examines these efforts, from Thomas Dilworth onwards, as generally well-intentioned but ultimately ineffective. Drawing upon both literary and linguistic history, the author demonstrates that spoken English, as an ever-evolving form of communication, has defied such attempts to standardise and control its form, succeeding only in creating the myth of a single 'correct' orthography and usage. Despite the failure of previous spelling reforms, the author concludes that documenting the history and evolution of English's orthography can provide valuable insight into the complex relationship between the spoken and written word. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781528227445_0
