About This Product

Updated to reflect current research and rewritten for further clarity of presentation, the seventh edition of the best-selling THE ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE continues to take a linguistic-analysis approach and focuses on the facts of language rather than on theoretical approaches.
