Description - History of English by Jonathan Culpeper
"Routledge Language Workbooks" are practical introductions to specific areas of languages for beginners. "Language Workbooks" can be used for independent study or as part of a taught class. The texts teach through "hands-on" language analysis; give a balanced insight into basic linguistic theory; apply basic analytical skills to a wide range of data; and explain all technical concepts clearly and simply. This workbook looks at the history of the English language in order to explain the English that is used today. It covers the development of the English language from the 5th century to the present day and contains a "mini-corpus" of texts, used for exercises and to illustrate points raised in the commentary. The book introduces key linguistic concepts, provides "discussion points" to generate debate, and involves readers in collecting and analyzing their own data.
