User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐”The Story of the English Language” Not only, tells the story of the language, but also examines the history of the people who developed it’s use.The book will not only satisfy anglophiles, but anyone intrested in linguistics in general.Very readable… you will want to learn other languages!

⭐An old history of English (first published in 1955, revised 1967) which gets us up to the 20th century in the first third of the book, with most of the journey focussed on how and when particular words came into the language. The middle section is mostly about English usage in various locales, and the last bit about the future — i.e., precriptive vs. evolutionary. It was interesting and valuable in its day.
