About this book

Biography of the English Language by Millward, C. M.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780155016453.

The second edition of A Biography of the English Language continues to examine the structure of language. The textbook discusses three important issues: languages and language change are systematic; the inner history of a language is profoundly affected by its outer history of political and culural events; and the English of the past has everywhere left its traces on present-day English. By uncovering the languages past, one can better communicate with it.
