Weeds in the Garden of Words: Further Observations on the Tangled History of the English Language
ISBN: 9780521618236 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. If the English language is a glorious garden, filled with exotic hybrids and the continuing tradition of heritage specimens, then it is no surprise that we will also find some weeds. Linguistic weeds may have pronunciations we don't want or constructions that are out of place. We may be trying to hold on to words and usage we should perhaps have said farewell to. But as all gardeners know, what one gardener calls a 'weed', another may call a 'flower'. The same goes for words and their usage in English - sometimes we just haven't realized their virtues.

Blooming English: Observations on the Roots, Cultivation and Hybrids of the English Language
ISBN: 9780521548328 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) English is the most creative, changeable and imaginative of languages. Some words are invented to meet temporary needs and are quickly discarded; others carry meanings hundreds of years old. Language fascinates us, and we spend a lot of time playing with it, concocting everything from puns, riddles and secret languages to wonderful prose and poetry. We also worry about it a great deal, looking up and checking words in dictionaries and usage guides, occasionally arguing about definitions. This book celebrates our capacity to play with language, as well as examining the ways we use it: in slang...
