The Language Report provides a unique opportunity to reflect on several years of developments in all aspects of language, charting both small and dramatic changes in areas as diverse as punctuation and political jargon.
The Language Report not only takes a historical long view, comparing the state of English a hundred years ago with the present day, but also a focused retrospective of recent years to highlight emerging trends in the evolution of language, as well as concentrated examples of ongoing, long-term change. Together, these perspectives provide a strong foundation for anticipating future directions in English.
This edition examines topics such as the language of food and drink, advertising and marketing, and the growing influence of celebrity culture.
