Is English changing? To what degree is it changing? Is this change good or bad? In answering these questions, Is English Changing? provides a lively and concise introduction to language change, refuting commonly held misconceptions about language evolution as we understand it. Showing that English, like all living languages, has historically changed and continues to change, this book:

    • analyzes developments in the lexicon, the way words are spoken or written, and the way in which speakers and writers use words;

    • offers a basic overview of the major subfields of linguistics, including phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics, all viewed through the prism of language change;

    • discusses change over time with examples from Old English, Middle English, and Modern English;

    • reinforces important concepts with examples from other languages, including Spanish, Japanese, and Czech;

    • clearly defines key terms and includes advice on rules, usage, and style, as well as ample annotated further reading and activities throughout.

    Aimed at undergraduate students with little or no prior knowledge of linguistics, this book is essential reading for those studying this topic for the first time.

      5.0 out of 5 stars 現代英語の全体像を掴むのに適した書
      Reviewed in Japan on June 5, 2018
      Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
      音声、語構造、文構造、語の意味、文脈、社会と文化、規則・慣用と文体などの観点から現代英語の実態を論じた書。著者はAmerican Heritage Dictionary(AHD) と関わりにある人でAHD はもちろん辞書への言及も多い。語法と辞書に関心のある人には(専門的な立場からは少し物足りないかもしれないが)格好の読み物である。p.73に代名詞の一覧表があるが、third-person nonbinary singularとしてthey, their, them, themselves を載せているなど、記述主義的な観点から現代英語の語法を観察していることがよく分かる。平易な英語で書かれているので、気軽に読める書である。
