Alternative Histories of English Hardcover - 2001
by Peter Trudgill (Editor); Richard J. Watts (Editor)
Summary
This groundbreaking collection explores the beliefs and approaches to the history of English that do not make it into standard textbooks.Orthodox histories have presented a tunnel version of the history of the English language which is sociologically inadequate. In this book a range of leading international scholars show how this focus on standard English dialect is to the detriment of those which are non-standard or from other areas of the world. Presents a fuller and richer picture of the complexity of the history of English, and explains why English is the diverse world language it is today.
First line
The 'history' is often understood simplistically to mean an accurate account of what happened in the past; yet, the writing of history can depend on differing underlying assumptions and can lead to differing interpretations.
