Many have written about the evolution of grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary, but only Lerer situates these developments within the larger history of English, America, and literature. This edition features a new chapter on the influence of biblical translation and an epilogue on the relationship of English speech to writing. A unique blend of historical and personal narrative, Inventing English is the surprising tale of a language that is as dynamic as the people to whom it belongs. 606 $aEnglish language$xHistory 606 $aEnglish language$xEtymology 606 $aEnglish language$yOld English, ca. 450-1100 606 $aEnglish language$yMiddle English, 1100-1500 606 $aLinguistics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xHistory. 615 0$aEnglish language$xEtymology. 615 0$aEnglish language 615 0$aEnglish language 615 0$aLinguistics. 676 $a420.9 700 $aLerer$b Seth$f1955-$0868124 702 $aSecondari$b Linda 702 $aLewis$b M$g(Martha), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460839903321 996 $aInventing English$92443070 997 $aUNINA
