Standard English:* explores the definitions of ‘Standard English’, with particular attention to distinctions between spoken and written English* traces the idea of ‘Standard English’ from its roots in the late seventeenth century through to the present day.This is an accessible, seminal work which clarifies an increasingly confused topic. It includes contributions from: Ronald Carter, Jenny Cheshire, Tony Crowley, James Milroy, Lesley Milroy and Peter Trudgill.
