Abstract:

The Oxford History of English traces the language from its obscureIndo-European roots to its twenty-first century position as the world'sfirst language. It describes the history of English within the BritishIsles, its changing roles in different places, and its rise to globalpre-eminence. Fifteen experts describe the history of English within achronological framework: they examine written varieties and the spokenlanguage of everyday life; and they consider and explain changes in words,meanings, grammar, and pronunciation. The book will appeal to everyone witha keen interest in the English language and its development.
