ENGLISH LANGUAGE HISTORY 1476-1755: ATTITUDES TO ENGLISH

“This book is not yet another history of the English language, but an attempt to look at the development of some of the attitudes to English in the Early Modern Age. Underpinning sociolinguistic and language history issues, this work takes a look at some of the keywords employed in the representations of English between 1476 and 1755 in well-known dictionaries or texts focusing on language complaints.”
