People get angry about English. They
argue about slang, abbreviations, jargon
and buzzwords, the value of vocabulary
imported from other languages, the abuse of
apostrophes and the mistakes of public figures
who ought to know better . Listening to them,
we may assume our language is in a state of
near-fatal decline. But people have always
worried about the state of English; the issue
inflamed the Britain of Shakespeare, Dickens
and Chaucer and has raged throughout the
entire English-speaking world.
THE LANGUAGE WARS unpacks the history of
how the idea of proper English came about.
It looks at grammar rules, regional accents,
swearing, spelling, dictionaries, political
correctness and the role of electronic media
in reshaping language. It also investigates
such niggling concerns as the split infinitive,
elocution and text messaging. It boasts a
range of characters who have helped shape
our use of language, including Jonathan Swift,
Noah Webster,
H. W.
Fowler and George Orwell.
THE LANGUAGE WARS is essential reading for
anyone interested in the state of the English
language today or concerned about its future.
