The volume focuses on the structure of what contemporaries called the General Dialect - its spelling, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation - and on its dialectal origins. The book also discusses the language situation and linguistic anxieties in England at a time when Latin exerted a strong influence on the rising standard language. The volume includes: *The major changes in English from the 15th to the 18th century *Emphasis on long-term linguistic developments *Sources for the study of Early Modern English *Illustrations ranging from drama and personal letters to trials and early science *Exercises encouraging further exploration of the changing English language.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmItem Weight: 250gGenre: Language & ReferenceBook Series: Edinburgh Textbooks on the English LanguageAuthor: Terttu NevalainenRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
