The American Language

Autor H L Mencken
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 2010
Perhaps the first truly important book about the divergence of American English from its British roots, this survey of the language as it was spoken-and as it was changing-at the beginning of the 20th century comes via one of its most inveterate watchers, journalist, critic, and editor HENRY LOUIS MENCKEN (1880-1956).In this replica of the 1921 "revised and enlarged" second edition, Mencken turns his keen ear on:. the general character of American English. loan-words and non-English influences. expletives and forbidden words. American slang. the future of the language. and much, much more.Anyone fascinated by words will find this a thoroughly enthralling look at the most changeable language on the face of the planet.
