Lynda Mugglestone traces the origins of the phenomenon in late eighteenth-century London, follows its history through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and charts its downfall during the era of New Labour. This is a witty, readable account of a fascinating subject, liberally spiced with quotations from English speech and writing over the past 250 years. - ;Talking Proper is a history of the rise and fall of the English accent as a badge of cultural, social, and classEnglish languageGreat BritainStandardizationEnglish languageSpoken EnglishGreat BritainEnglish languageSocial aspectsGreat BritainEnglish languageVariationGreat BritainEnglish languageAccents and accentuationSpeech and social statusGreat BritainSocial classesGreat BritainGreat BritainSocial life and customsEnglish languageStandardization.English languageSpoken EnglishEnglish languageSocial aspectsEnglish languageVariationEnglish languageAccents and accentuation.Speech and social statusSocial classes306.44/0941306.440941Mugglestone Lynda322352MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792258803321Talking proper"1094860UNINA
