This is the definitive introductory book on the English Language. There is a new chapter on the influence of technology on language which is 'serialisable'. It also includes an expanded section on English as a global language.

This is the definitive survey of the English language - in all its forms. Crystal writes accessibly about the structure of the language, the uses of English throughout the world and finally he gives a brief history of English. The book has been fully revised and there is a fascinating new chapter on 'The effect of technology' on the English language.
