About this product

Product Information

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 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.

    Seems to be of good value

    I am asked to review a book I have not as yet read. It appears to be of good value and the content appears to be compelling and I would recommend it with reservations.
