Rezension zu „The Oxford History of English “
"Any mature and intellectually curious reader will find something of appeal in the well-crafted chapters that encompass the entire chonological range from (pre-) Old English to Modern English. The Oxford History of English is the best companion reading for literary scholars, historians, and sociolinguistics; it broadens significantly the extralinguistic information, which often leads to new ways of accounting for language change." --LanguageKommentar zu "The Oxford History of English"
