Language Myths and the History of English aims to deconstruct the myths that
are traditionally reproduced as factual accounts of the historical development of
English. Using concepts and interpretive sensibilities developed in the field of socio-
linguistics over the past 40 years, Richard J. Watts unearths these myths and exposes
their ideological roots. His goal is not to construct an alternative discourse, but to
offer alternative readings of the historical data. Watts raises the question of what we
mean by a linguistic ideology, and whether any discourse—a hegemonic discourse,
an alternative discourse, or even a deconstructive discourse—can ever be free of
it. The book argues that a naturalized discourse is always built on a foundation of
myths, which are all too easily taken as true accounts.
