Omschrijving
The world's best-known authority on the English language reveals the secrets and subtleties of its grammar.
Refreshing and briskly written ... Crystal shows that grammar is not nearly as tedious as it can seem.
Previous praise for David Crystal: 'Crystal's book is full of distractions and delights.
If the history of language is a sort of labyrinth, David Crystal is an excellent guide
Delicious revelations ... Crystal does an excellent job, not just of tracing the etymology of a word, but of relating it to social history, painting a picture of our times through words
David Crystal is Honorary Professor of Linguistics at the University of Wales, Bangor. His many books range from clinical linguistics to the liturgy and Shakespeare. He is the author of The Story of English in 100 Words, Spell It Out: The Singular History of English Spelling, and Making a Point: The Pernickety History of English Punctuation, all published by Profile. His Stories of English is a Penguin Classic.
