The Development of Standard English, 1300-1800: Theories, Descriptions, Conflicts (Studies in English Language) Book

This book traces the development of Standard English, revealing a complex and intriguing history that challenges the usual textbook accounts. Leading scholars offer a wide-ranging analysis, from theoretical discussions of the origin of dialects, to detailed descriptions of the history of individual Standard English features.
