图书描述

Product Description

"Sprawling, uncoordinated, uneven, noisy, and appealing," wrote one reviewer of the first edition of this book, published on 1 January 1980. "The language is in rude health," wrote another. Exactly a decade later, here is the book anew, with the same editors but with fifty fresh contributors writing essays and poems that engage our language today. Imaginative attention is bestowed on the changes of recent years, changes not only in the language but in how language is understood. In the forefront are the relations between British English, American English, and those other Englishes with which they compete or cooperate. The nervous negotiations of gender and feminism. The darkness of AIDS. The bright flicker of the computer. The old smolderings of "standard English" and correctness. The "bad language" that has lately done so well in our society. How all this has been politicized-or is it rather that its inevitably political nature has only now been recognized? Here these and many other facets of the language catch the various light. What has changed is understood in relation to what has not changed, and what has been gained in relation to what has been lost. There is sweep as well as detail, telescope as well as microscope, in this contemplation of the world of our language as it enters the world of the 1990s. The State of the Language has been prepared in cooperation with the English-Speaking Union of San Francisco.

著者简介

From Library Journal

After the 1980 edition comes this all-new compendium by 62 authors from scholarly (Sandra Gilbert, Hugh Kenner, Walter Ong), literary (Kingsley Amis, Ted Hughes, Allison Lurie, Amy Tan), popular (M.F.K. Fisher), and journalistic (Robert MacNeil) backgrounds. Leaning more towards scholarly and literary analyses, these articles discuss the different Englishes; the languages of politics, money, and art; current practices; and opinions about correct usage. More serious and intellectual than William Safire's and Edwin Newman's books on language, this book nevertheless will fascinate anyone interested in our language. Highly recommended.
