| adam_text | A UNIQUE history of the English language
via the RUDE, the OBSCURE and the
downright SURPRISING.
David Crystal, Britain s leading linguistic prospector
(Independent), delves into the English language to reveal
its hidden treasures. He handpicks one hundred words
that encapsulate the huge variety of sources, influences
and events that have shaped our vernacular since the first
definitively English word was written down in the fifth
century ( roe , in case you are wondering).
Featuring
Latirme
and Celtic words, weasel words and
nonce-words, from the ancient to the cutting-edge,
and spanning from words so indispensible we hardly
notice them ( and ) to the more fanciful ( fopdoodle )
and the ultra-modern ( twittersphere ), The Story of
English in
100
Words leads us on a highly entertaining
tour of the world s most ubiquitous language.
One of his best. A kind of linguistic tapestry, packed
with abstruse information, wonderfully readable
