Bridges linguistic science and cultural history in a chronological account of the English language A History of the English Language offers a unified study of English that balances detailed linguistic analysis with a wide-ranging cultural and historical narrative. Designed for students and scholars in English departments, this accessible yet rigorous treatment of the history of English integrates phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic development with the literary, social, and political contexts in which the language evolved. While firmly grounded in linguistic scholarship, the book tells the story of English not only through reconstructed proto-forms and sound changes but also through the lived experiences and historical movements of its speakers.
