Zustand: Gut. 408 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - People get angry about English. They argue about slang, abbreviations, jargon and buzzwords, the value of vocabulary imported from other languages, the abuse of apostrophes and the mistakes of public figures who 'ought to know better'. Listening to them, we may assume our language is in a state of near-fatal decline. But people have always worried about the state of English; the issue inflamed the Britain of Shakespeare, Dickens and Chaucer and has raged throughout the entire English-speaking world. THE LANGUAGE WARS unpacks the history of how the idea of 'proper' English came about. It looks at grammar rules, regional accents, swearing, spelling, dictionaries, political correctness and the role of electronic media in reshaping language. It also investigates such niggling concerns as the split infinitive, elocution and text messaging. It boasts a range of characters who have helped shape our use of language, including Jonathan Swift, Noah Webster, H. W. Fowler and George Orwell.
