Is it grammatically correct to say 'the best team won' after a football match? What is the difference between manly, male, masculine and macho? Bringing together Peter Trudgill's highly popular columns for the New European, this fascinating collection explores how English has been influenced, both linguistically and culturally, by its neighbouring languages in Europe. English is very much a European language and Trudgill delves in to the rich linguistic legacy that links all European languages. The bite-sized pieces are grouped together in thematically arranged sections, to allow the reader to dip in and out at will, and cover a wide range of topics, from the etymology of words, to illuminating pieces on grammar. Written in an engaging and lively style, and full of intriguing facts about language and languages in Europe, this book will appeal to both language specialists and to general readers with no prior experience.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_clientAreaDiv\" class=\"ewa-clientarea ewa-clientarea-read\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_m_fieldManagerPane_m_root\" class=\"ewa-flp-ltr ewa-flp-border-ltr\" data-cssfile=\"https:\/\/c1h-excel-15.cdn.office.net:443\/x\/s\/h911FFF546CBCEC1D__layouts\/Resources\/1033\/FieldListPane.css\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_contentAreaDiv\" role=\"main\" class=\"ewa-contentarea\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-gridKeyHandler\" role=\"textbox\" spellcheck=\"false\" autocomplete=\"false\" id=\"gridKeyboardContentEditable\" aria-label=\"grid\" inputmode=\"text\" tabindex=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-tabindex=\"0\" contenteditable=\"true\" autocorrect=\"off\" virtualkeyboardpolicy=\"manual\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42024405893359,"sku":"9781108965927","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/products\/9781108965927.jpg?v=1636462886"},{"product_id":"old-english","title":"Old English","description":"\u003cp\u003eOld English provides a clear linguistic introduction to English between the 5th century and the Norman invasion in 1066.

The first part on English in the United States also has dedicated chapters on the history of African American English and the English of Spanish-heritage people in the United States. Part II is concerned with English in Canada and contains seven chapters beginning with the anglophone settlement of Canada and continuing with chapters on individual regions of that country including English in Quebec. Part III consists of chapters devoted to the history of English in the Anglophone Caribbean, looking at various creoles in that region, both in the islands and the Rim, with a special chapter on Jamaica and on the connections between the Caribbean and the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56568348311938,"sku":"9781009205764","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/files\/9781009205764i_1.jpg?v=1776351751"},{"product_id":"sale-the-cambridge-history-of-the-english-language-volume-5","title":"SALE The Cambridge History of the English Language Volume 5: English in Britain and Overseas: Origins and Development","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis book is unused and unread.

Its authoritative coverage extends from areas of central linguistic interest and concern to more specialised topics such as personal names and place names. The volumes dealing with earlier periods are chronologically based, whilst those dealing with more recent periods are geographically based, thus reflecting the spread of English over the last 300 years. Volume 5 looks at the dialects of England since 1776, the historical development of English in the former Celtic-speaking countries of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, and at varieties of English in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Caribbean, and South Asia. This unique volume will be welcomed by all those interested in the spread of English around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNext volume to be published in Cambridge History of the English Language (first two volumes published in 1992)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis volume of more general interest than the first two: history of English dialects since 1776, and increasing divergence of the language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell-known contributors, and very well-known editor (was Chief Editor, Oxford English Dictionaries)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56598671982978,"sku":"9780521264785","price":113.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/files\/9780521264785i.jpg?v=1777467320"},{"product_id":"sale-english-in-the-car","title":"SALE English in the Caribbean","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis book is unused and unread.

Based on data from the International Corpus of English, it focuses on variation at the morphological and syntactic level between the educated standard and more informal educated spoken usage. Dagmar Deuber combines quantitative analyses across several text categories with qualitative analyses of transcribed text passages that are grounded in interactional sociolinguistics and recent approaches to linguistic style and identity. The discussion is situated in the context of variation in the Caribbean and the wider context of world Englishes, and the sociolinguistic background of Jamaica and Trinidad is also explored. This volume will be of interest to students and researchers interested in the fields of sociolinguistics, world Englishes, and language contact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56607008555394,"sku":"9781107027473","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/files\/9781107027473i.jpg?v=1777735442"},{"product_id":"sale-listening-to-the-past","title":"SALE Listening to the Past","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis book is unused and unread.

This book is the first to bring together a team of globally recognised scholars to document and analyse these early recordings in a single volume. Looking at examples of regional varieties of English from England, Scotland, Ireland, the USA, Canada and other anglophone countries, the volume explores both standard and vernacular varieties, and demonstrates how accents of English have changed between the late nineteenth century and the present day. The socio-phonetic examinations of the recordings will be of interest to scholars of historical linguistics, the history of the English language, language variation and change, phonetics, and phonology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56607009505666,"sku":"9781107051577","price":63.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/files\/9781107051577i.jpg?v=1777737497"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cambridgebookshop.co.uk\/collections\/language-linguistics-historical.oembed","provider":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
