Milestones in the History of English in America
A collection of essays by one of the premier historians of American English, Milestones in the History of English in America is a remarkable introduction to Allen Walker Read's work and the ways in which archival materials can illuminate linguistic history. This volume is divided into four sections: the emergence of American English as a distinct form and the attitudes of both Britons and Americans toward its development; the history of the most distinctive and widespread American coinage, O.K.; euphemism and obscenity; and an autobiographical section that provides a fascinating portrait of a remarkable American scholar.
