From the publisher:
This is a book about the real stories of English, which have never, in their entirety, been told. How did a language spoken by a few thousand Anglo Saxons grow into one used by more than two billion people across the world? In this landmark work, one of the world’s foremost linguists puts forward a convincing answer. Authoritative and always entertaining, The Stories of English traces the history of a language of amazing richness and variety.
The new Folio edition brings the story right up to date: a new afterword by the author deals with the impact of digital technology and social media on our ever-evolving language, and the edition includes an exclusive bookmark with a key to the phonetic symbols used in the text. The book is elegantly presented, with a distinctive cover design by Alan Kitching – one of Britain’s most distinguished typographic designers.
