A History of the English Language by Albert C Baugh
An excellent reference for advancing stuff learned in class.
Nice hefty tome. Troilus and Cressida is worth every minute spent reading it.
Thanks, Julie, for the most excellent Christmas gift! Now I can read it aloud and have a vague idea of what I'm saying (not uncommon in my usual banter). But I'll be having fun and sounding beautiful (insert moment here). I'll brush up on my prologue.
This was a good book; I wish I had the latest edition rather than this edition from the early 1990's. The language has changed since the introduction of the Internet and texting which wasn't an issue at the time this version came out. I think I may have had this version since it was new, though. I just now got around to reading it in it's entirety.
Very informative. Some chapters were more interesting than others. I liked the chapters on Old English and also on American English.
Always something to learn, so I keep expanding my knowledge of my own langauge. Languages are alive and amazing.
