À propos de cet audio

This course offers an overview of the English language that is literary, historical, cultural, political, and scientific in its scope and designed to give you greater insight into the written and spoken word.The lectures provide a thorough understanding of the history of the English language - from its origins as a dialect of the Germanic-speaking peoples through the literary and cultural documents of its 1,500-year span to the state of American speech today.

Professor Lerer defines concepts by illustrating them with copious examples. He often speaks in the dialect appropriate to each lecture - be it Old English, Chaucer’s Middle English, or the colloquial style of Mark Twain’s most unforgettable characters.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

From the narration style to the actual content of this book, I was completely hooked from the beginning until the end. I love all the different perspectives and angles the history of the english language was tackled from. Truly, very well summarizes a universe of academic research and work 36 short lectures. Would highly recommend, especially to those interested in history, linguistics, philology, and anthropology. Brilliant work!
