Dick Leith surveys the history of English from a sociolinguistic perspective: he explains linguistic change without jargon and addresses standardisation, language contact, bilingualism and variation. He also considers new varieties of English and the linguistic reading of historical texts.

For students of sociolinguistics, history and cultural studies, and for any reader interested in the evolution of English without prior linguistic training.
