The English Language is spoken by more than a billion people throughout the world. But where did English come from? And how has it evolved into the language used today?  
In How English Became English  Simon Horobin investigates the evolution of the English language, examining how the language continues to adapt even today, as English continues to find new speakers & new uses. Engaging with contemporary concerns about correctness, Horobin considers whether such changes are improvements, or evidence of slipping standards. What is the future for the English Language? Will Standard English continue to hold sway, or are we witnessing its replacement by newly emerging Englishes?  
  • ° Provides a concise & accessible history of English
  • ° Engages with key debates concerning issues of correctness, standards, & dialects
  • ° Investigates the uses of English worldwide
  • ° Reflects on the future of the English language   

Simon Horobin is Professor of English Language & Literature at the University of Oxford & a Fellow of Magdalen College. He has written extensively on the history, structure, & uses of the English language. He is the author of Does Spelling Matter? (OUP, 2013) & a number of books on the history of English, & the language of Chaucer.
