In this book, a team of international experts cover the entire recorded history of the English language, outlining its development over fifteen centuries. With an emphasis on more recent periods, every key stage in the history of the language is covered, with full accounts of standardisation, names, the distribution of English in Britain and North America, and its global spread. New historical surveys of the crucial aspects of the language are presented, and historical changes that have affected English are treated as a continuing process, helping to explain the shape of the language today. This complete and up-to-date history of English will be indispensable to all advanced students, scholars and teachers in this prominent field. 606 $aEnglish language$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish language$xHistory. 676 $a420.9 702 $aHogg$b Richard M. 702 $aDenison$b David$f1950- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467599303321 996 $aHistory of the English language$91028661 997 $aUNINA
