WEEDS IN THE GARDEN OF WORDS
If the English language is a glorious garden, filled with exotic hybrids
and the continuing tradition of heritage specimens, then it is no sur¬
prise that we will also find some weeds. Linguistic weeds may have
pronunciations we don t want or constructions that are out of place.
We may be trying to hold on to words and usage we should perhaps
have said farewell to. But as all gardeners know, what one gardener
calls a weed , another may call a flower . The same goes for words
and their usage in English
virtues.
Kate Burridge follows the international success of her book Blooming
English with another entertaining excursion into the ever-changing
nature of our complex and captivating language.
Kate Burridge is Professor of Linguistics at Monash University. She has
published widely on English language and linguistics and is well known
for her broadcasts on ABC Radio s Soundback.

WEEDS IN THE GARDEN OF WORDS
If the English language is a glorious garden, filled with exotic hybrids
and the continuing tradition of heritage specimens, then it is no sur¬
prise that we will also find some weeds. Linguistic weeds may have
pronunciations we don't want or constructions that are out of place.
We may be trying to hold on to words and usage we should perhaps
have said farewell to. But as all gardeners know, what one gardener
calls a 'weed', another may call a 'flower'. The same goes for words
and their usage in English
virtues.
Kate Burridge follows the international success of her book Blooming
English with another entertaining excursion into the ever-changing
nature of our complex and captivating language.
Kate Burridge is Professor of Linguistics at Monash University. She has
