| book description |
This lively and engaging book traces English’s remarkable journey from a small, local language to the global resource it is today. The book follows the story of English from its earliest origins, through its growth and expansion over the last 1,500 years, to the part it plays in twenty-first century society. Along the way, the book explores the language’s complex ties to cultural identity, literature and politics. It tracks its evolving relationship with technology – from the invention of the printing press to the rise of artificial intelligence – and explains how it became the global lingua franca across almost every field of international activity. Concise, clear and informative, the book offers an ideal introduction for anyone curious about the English language: how it developed, how it is used today, and what role it will likely play in the future of global communication.
