Fully revised and updated, the second edition of this authoritative

and its geographical, social, gender and ethnic variations.

Covering new developments such as the impact of email on language, and
corpus-based grammars, the second edition of this accessible text has
been extensively re-written and brings the survey of modern English
right up to date. Offering new examples and suggestions for further
reading, the book is essential reading for all students of English
language and linguistics.

Abstract:

America's geographical separation from Britain, combined with a range
of fresh experiences and contacts, led to the emergence of a new
vocabulary and a distinct style of the English language. The
development of American English attracted the attention of
educationalists and philologists, and this collection reprints a wide
range of source texts written on the subject between 1781 and
1921. Bringing together a selection of the most important texts in an
accessible form for the first time, this comprehensive eight-volume
set is of key importance to scholars and students interested in
researching the historical development of English in America.

Available individually, or as part of the eight-volume set American
English: 1781-1921. For a complete list of volume titles in this set,
see list for American English: 1781-1921 [ISBN: 0-415-27964-X].
