Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-13 00:00:00 Tina Hixom A great resource for anyone interested in the English language and its development, presented both from a linguistic and historical perspective. The book is written in an entertaining way with a nice balance between the different approaches to the topics. Also features "classroom activities" that guide the reader to think deeper on the subject. I first read it as a freshman at university and didn't find it jarring or overly complicated like many other textbooks. Easy to understand and suitable for people with no prior experience in the field of linguistics as well.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-11-09 00:00:00 Antonio Cotten This book is a mixture of linguistic theory and history. I read it as part of my undergraduste course, taught by Dr McIntyre himself. His easy to follow lectures and seminars are refleced in the book, which I feel follows a logical structure and includes evidence that a beginner such as myself could follow. As a historian I also appreciated the inclusion of the historial context to the changes outlined and explained in the book.
