Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Bridges linguistic science and cultural history in a chronological account of the English language A History of the English Language offers a unified study of English that balances detailed linguistic analysis with a wide-ranging cultural and historical narrative. Designed for students and scholars in English departments, this accessible yet rigorous treatment of the history of English integrates phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic development with the literary, social, and political contexts in which the language evolved. While firmly grounded in linguistic scholarship, the book tells the story of English not only through reconstructed proto-forms and sound changes but also through the lived experiences and historical movements of its speakers. Author Joseph P. McGowan takes a thematic and chronological approach to the English languages development, beginning with the Indo-European roots of English and extending through to its global presence today. Key chapters offer extended focus on topics often neglected in other works, such as the Celtic context of Roman and sub-Roman Britain, and the deep impact of language contact in colonial and postcolonial settings. Rich textual examples spanning genres, regions, and historical periods bring abstract linguistic features to life, illustrating how political expansion, literary expression, and cultural exchange have shaped English over fourteen centuries. The most extensive single-volume treatment of Englishs development from pre-history to global modernity, A History of the English Language: Addresses varieties of English across time and geography, including British, American, and global formsIncludes a substantial and original treatment of the Celtic speech area and its influence on early EnglishProvides sustained attention to English in contact with other languages across colonial and postcolonial contextsFeatures extended textual and spoken examples to illustrate key linguistic and cultural phenomenaUses a thematic and chronological structure that supports both linear reading and modular use for teaching A History of the English Language is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on the history of the English language, the development of English, sociolinguistics, contact linguistics, and dialectology within English, Linguistics, and Education degree programs. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and educators in historical linguistics and English studies. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
