Книга: Crystal David «The Stories of English»
|
Серия: "-" When and why did'thou'disappear from Standard English? Would a Victorian Cockney have said'observation'or'hobservation'? Was Jane Austen making a mistake when she wrote'Jenny and James are walked to Charmonth this afternoon'? This superbly well-informed - and also wonderfully entertaining - history of the English language answers all these questions, showing how the many strands of English (Standard English, dialect and slang among them) developed to create the richly-varied language of today. Издательство: "Penguin Group" (2005)
