The secret life of words : how English became English

Hitchings, Henry, 1974-2008
Books, Manuscripts
Communication is essential to our lives, but how often do we stop to think about where the words we use have come from? This text is a wide-ranging account not only of the history of English, but also of how words witness history, reflect social change and remind us of our turbulent past.
