商品描述

This is the fully revised and expanded second edition of English - One Tongue, Many Voices, a book by three internationally distinguished English language scholars who tell the fascinating, improbable saga of English in time and space. Chapters trace the history of the language from its obscure beginnings over 1500 years ago as a collection of dialects spoken by marauding, illiterate tribes. They show how the geographical spread of the language in its increasing diversity has made English into an international language of unprecedented range and variety. The authors examine the present state of English as a global language and the problems, pressures and uncertainties of its future, online and offline. They argue that, in spite of the amazing variety and plurality of English, it remains a single language.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是《英語 - 一種語言，許多聲音》的全面修訂和擴充第二版，這本書由三位國際知名的英語學者撰寫，講述了英語在時間和空間中的迷人而不太可能的歷程。各章節追溯了這種語言的歷史，從1500多年前作為一群由掠奪的文盲部落所講的方言的模糊起源開始。它們展示了語言的地理擴展及其日益多樣性如何使英語成為一種前所未有的國際語言，範圍和多樣性都無與倫比。作者探討了英語作為全球語言的現狀，以及其未來在網上和離線所面臨的問題、壓力和不確定性。他們主張，儘管英語展現出驚人的多樣性和多元性，但它仍然是一種單一的語言。
