English ¡s
spoken
or written today
by a third of the world s population
-
an unprecedented achievement for a
language. How has this situation come
about? And what happens to a language
when it is used by so many? These are
the questions that David Crystal seeks
to answer.
Drawing on the unparalleled material
of the British Library, David Crystal charts
the evolution of the language through
an examination of over
150
texts.
The story begins with the earliest runic
inscriptions in Old English and traces
its development to a language of
political power in the Middle Ages.
It then shows how, between
1400
and
1800,
a standard variety of English
emerged, unifying the language yet
allowing for functional stylistic differences.
Three such styles are given detailed
illustration: everyday English, English
in the workplace, and English used as a
medium of playful and literary expression.
Finally, the regional diversity of the
language is explored both nationally,
through the accents and dialects of
Britain, and internationally, in the new
Englishes that have developed all
over the globe.
This book is the first history of the
language to be fully illustrated with
readable images of original texts,
combined with transcriptions and
translations, making it essential
reading for both students of the
English language and anyone with
an interest in where our language
has come from, where it is now and
-
perhaps most important of all
-
where it is heading.
