Structured to reflect chronological developments, it describes and explains the changes that occurred at all linguistics levels, as well as considering changes in orthography, register and discourse. Moreover, it considers international varieties of Englishes and more recent developments in the history of English. Key features of the new edition include: new examples; wider coverage of varieties of English; expanded section on early English and updated readings. This book provides an engaging introductory textbook that is essential reading for all students of English language and linguistics"--
