balanced in its perspective and thoroughly ex-
citing in its picture of the unfolding language
on the new continent.
This book tells, in a remarkably readable
way, how the English language spoken today

colorful, spirited language it now is.
American English is a book of permanent
value for everyone who wants to know more
about the language he hears, reads, and uses
every day of his life. It is only through such
knowledge that true competence in the use of
English arises. Vissza
