An American linguist teaching in England explores the sibling rivalry between British and American English
"English accents are the sexiest."
"Americans have ruined the English language."
Such claims about the English language are often repeated but rarely examined. Professor Lynne Murphy is on the linguistic front line. In The Prodigal Tongue she explores the fiction and reality of the special relationship between British and American English.
