A Social History of English - Softcover
Written from the perspective of sociolinguistics, this introductory history of the English language provides a non-technical account of linguistic change, without assuming any familiarity on the part of the reader with linguistic method and terminology.

Review:
..."most welcome--a readable, non-technical explanation of the 'external' history of our language. At the same time, the reader will learn a good deal about the changes to the language itself. The book is an excellent anti-dote to all one hears about what a wonderful language English is, and how its virtues have led to its being so widely adopted."
