A fascinating exploration of English, its origins, dialects, accents, and place-names. Trudgill asks questions such as: why did 'passengers' become 'customers'? What is the origin of the word 'but'? How should we reply when told not to end a sentence with a preposition? ('Why not?').
I have a question about the book:
‘Dialect Matters - Trudgill, Peter (Universitetet i Agder’.
