The Language Report is a collection of topical and fascinating facts and observations on spoken and written English.
Drawing on research from Oxford University Press, it offers a snapshot of the language during a period of change -- tracking new words that entered usage, exploring revived terms influenced by politics and pop culture, and noting key trends in how English evolved.
The book covers media-reported language issues, memorable quotes, nicknames in the news, online communication spaces, and debates in grammar and usage. It also explores how English developed globally and how once-new words have transformed and disappeared.
