ISBN: 9781108845120 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. English is one of the most widely-spoken languages in the world, with native-speaking communities at the furthest ends of the earth.

Modesty prevents Pennsylvanian Dutch Mennonites using the verb wotte ('want'); stratified society lies behind complicated Japanese honorifics; and a mountainous homeland suggests why speakers of Tibetan-Burmese Lahu have words for up there and down there. But culture and... Peter Trudgill looks at why human societies at different times and places produce different kinds of language. He considers how far social factors inf...

The essays here manifest Trudgill's conviction that linguists must make every effort to study minority languages and...
