Along the way, students discover how English has changed over time, and how it varies from speech community to speech community. Student-friendly chapters contain numerous examples drawn from different varieties of American English, which illustrate how English grammar is a dynamic system: perceptions of one variety as ‘better’ or ‘more correct’ than another, and notions of ‘standard’ and ‘non-standard’ English are socially constructed rather than based on linguistic fact. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition is fully updated with new examples, new text excerpts from a diverse range of written genres and authors, and completely revised chapters and exercises.
