The British Library has opened a new exhibit called 'Evolving English,' tracing the history of the English language up to the present day. They have established a website and a blog to accompany the exhibit, to be found at http://www.bl.uk/evolvingenglish/ The curators say: 'Evolving English is the first exhibition (running 12 Nov 2010 - 3 Apr 2011) to explore the English language in all its national and international diversity. Iconic collection items are set alongside engaging everyday texts and sound recordings to show the many social, cultural and historical strands from which the language is woven. Huge events and learning programme too.' |
