A History of the English Language (The Modern Scholar) (Audiobook)
Professor Drout addresses the foundation of language and its connection to specific portions of the brain. The components of language are explained in easy-to-understand terms and the progression of the language from Germanic to Old, Middle, and Modern English is fully illustrated - including such revolutionary language upheavals as those brought about by the Norman Conquest and the Great Vowel Shift. One of the most interesting aspects of the English language lies in its variants, such as the "soda" vs. "pop" debate and the place of African-American English in modern culture.

Slang is one of its most volatile components. This is especially true in our own century, when the cinema, newspapers and television have made language more accessible, and carried it from continent to continent more quickly than ever before. Language is alive and always changing, and slang, one of its most volatile elements, is a very elusive part of human communication. It may drop out of use gradually or quickly, or it may become accepted into standard English. The book will provide an invaluable and colourful insight into contemporary English for students or general readers.
