Globish : How the English Language became the World's Language order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 40.00 each
Paperback
Author: Robert McCrum
In Stock: 4
A small island in the North Atlantic, colonized by Rome, then pillaged for hundreds of years by marauding neighbours, becomes the dominant world power in the nineteenth century. As its power spreads, its language inevitably follows. Then, across the Atlantic, a colony of that tiny island grows into the military and cultural colossus of the twentieth century. These centuries of empire-building and war, international trade and industrial ingenuity will bring to the world great works of literature and extraordinary movies, cricket pitches and episodes of Dallas, the printing press and the internet. But then what? As Robert McCrum demonstrates in his hugely enjoyable and provocative new book, what happens next is quite unprecedented. While the global dominance of Anglo-American power appears to be on the wane, the English language has acquired an astonishing new life of its own. With a supra-national momentum, it is now able to zoom ... more

The Lexicographer's Dilemma: The Evolution of "Proper" English, from Shakespeare to South Park order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 49.99 each
Hardback
Author: Jack W. Lynch
In Stock: 2
For language buffs and lexicographers, copy editors and proofreaders, and anyone who appreciates the connection between language and culture - the illuminating story of "proper English." In its long history, the English language has had many lawmakers - those who have tried to regulate, or otherwise organize, the way we speak. The Lexicographer's Dilemma offers the first narrative history of these endeavors, showing clearly that what we now regard as the only "correct" way to speak emerged out of specific historical and social conditions over the course of centuries. As literary historian Jack Lynch has discovered, every rule has a human history, and the characters peopling his narrative are as interesting for their obsession as for their erudition. The struggle between prescriptivists, who prescribe a correct approach, and descriptivists, who analyze how language works, is at the heart of Lynch's story. From the sharp-tongued ... more

Weasel Words: 200 Words You Shouldn't Trust order quantity

NZ$ 29.99 each
Paperback
Author: eds.
In Stock: 2
From the deliberately confusing to the downright vague, we all come across language that either seems meaningless or that makes our heads spin. Weasel Words is a demystification of those words and phrases used to bewilder, befuddle and confuse us, from the estate agent's 'bijou' to the politician's more sinister 'waterboarding'.
Using contemporary examples, this book sets out those words we find confusing, explains what each word actually means and examines why these words are used the way they are.

Ad Infinitum: A Biography of Latin and the World it Created order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 34.00 each
Paperback
Author: Nicholas Ostler
In Stock: 1
An in-depth biography of the Latin language from its very beginnings to the present day from the widely acclaimed author of Empires of the Word.

The Latin language has been a constant in the cultural history of the West for over two millennia. It has shaped the way we think of ourselves and of our (central) place in the world. It has formed and united us as Europeans, has been the foundation of our education for centuries and defined the way in which we express our thoughts, our faith and our knowledge of the workings of the world.
And yet, Latin began life as the cumbersome dialect of a small southern Italian city-state. Its active use lasted three times as long as Rome's Empire and its use echoes on in the law codes of half the world, in terminologies of biology and medicine, and until forty years ago in the litany of the Catholic Church, the most populous form of Christianity.
In Ad Infinitum, Nicholas ... more
