The Last Word: The English Language: Opinions and Prejudices (Cultural Studies)

Renowned lexicographer Laurence Urdangs final reflections on the current state of the English language are recorded here; he died soon after completing the manuscript. All scholars, librarians, editors, students, and general readers with an interest in the English language will enjoy this fascinating account of, in Urdangs words, a life devoted to all aspects of language.
