Changing English examines the history of English from its origins in the fifth century to the present day, together with the dynamic diversity of present-day varieties of English found throughout the world. It focuses on the radical changes that have taken place in the structure of English over a millennium and a half, detailing the influences of migration, colonialism and many other historical, social and cultural phenomena. Expert authors illustrate and analyse dialects, accents and the shifting styles of individual speakers as they respond to changing circumstances. The reader is introduced to many key debates relating to the English language, illustrated by specific examples of data in context.
For this new book, the key material retained from the earlier bestselling book, English: History, Diversity and Change, has been thoroughly reorganised and updated, and entirely new material has been included. This new content is based on latest research in the field, presenting contemporary thinking about the language itself, its history and its changing global position.
