The Speaking Self: Language Lore and English Usage
Second Edition
This book aims to explain social variation in language, otherwise the meaning and
motivation of language change in its social aspect. It is the expanded and improved
2nd edition of the authors self-published volume with the same title, based on revised
and adapted posts on the author s Languagelore blog.
Each vignette calls attention to points of grammar and style in contemporary American
English, especially cases where language is changing due to innovative usage. In every
case where an analysis contains technical or recondite vocabulary, a Glossary precedes
the body of the essay, and readers can also consult the Master Glossary which contains
all items glossed in the text.
The unique form of the books presentation is aimed at readers who are alert to the
peculiarities of present-day American English as they pertain to pronunciation, gram-
mar, and style, without “dumbing down” or compromising the language in which the
explanations are couched.
