“In conclusion, this book succeeds in doing what it intended, to provide linguistic grounding for readers primarily interested in the literature and culture of English past and present. It deserves a place in libraries and classrooms, to be read cover to cover or dipped into for specific topics . . . Because it is readable and has good chapter bibliographies and a detailed index, it might also serve as a reference for students researching a
topic within the history of English.” (Linguist, 20 January 2013)
Ein vollständiger Überblick über die englische Sprache, von ihrem germanischen und indoeuropäischen Ursprung bis hin zum modernen britischen und amerikanischen Englisch. Auch Varianten des Englischen, deren Ursprünge auf das britische Kolonialreich zurückgehen, werden dargestellt.
