Few languages are riddled with as many spelling inconsistencies and irregularities
as English. Why is there such dissonance between the sounds of English and the
spelling used to represent them? The answer lies in the history of the language
itself. The History of English Spelling reveals the rich and complex history of Modern
English spelling, tracing its origins and development from Old English up to the
present day. The book provides a highly detailed, letter-by-letter analysis of the
Old English basis of Modern English spelling, followed by in-depth coverage of the
contributions from French, Latin, Greek and the many other languages that have
contributed to current orthography. Upward and Davidson also explore events in
the socio-political history of England as the setting for developments in spelling,
along with the works of a number of lexicographers (especially Johnson and
Webster), and various proposals for spelling reform. The History of English Spelling
reveals the richness of the complex and often frustrating alphabetic spelling system
used in the English language.
