Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Mother Tongue English And How It Got That Way af Bill Bryson
Vastly informative and vastly entertainingA scholarly and fascinating book. Los Angeles Times With dazzling wit and astonishing insight, Bill Bryson explores the remarkable history, eccentricities, resilience and sheer fun of the English language.From the first descent of the larynx into the throat (why you can talk but your dog cant), to the fine lost art of swearing, Bryson tells the fascinating, often uproarious story of an inadequate, second-rate tongue of peasants that developed into one of the worlds largest growth industries.
