In Its Long History, The English Language Has Had Many Lawmakersthose Who Have Tried To Regulate Or Otherwise Organize The Way We Speak. The Lexicographer'S Dilemma Poses A Pair Of Questionswhat Does Proper English Mean, And Who Gets To Say What'S Right? Our Ideas Of Correct Or Proper English Have A History, And Today'S Debates Over The State Of The Languagewhether About Ebonics In Schools, The Unique Use Of Language In A South Park Episode, Or Split Infinitives In The Timesmake Sense Only In Historical Context. As Historian Jack Lynch Has Discovered, Every Rule Has A Human History, And The Characters Who Populate His Narrative Are As Interesting For Their Obsessions As For Their Erudition. Charting The Evolution Of English With Wit And Intelligence, He Provides A Rich Historical Perspective That Makes Us Appreciate A New The Hardwon Standards We Now Enjoy.
