Abstract: This always United States of America-authored volume is, indeed, one of the major classic accounts of / the most scholarly enduring story of (and, indeed) for many aspects of the speaking of the tongue; in short, it is the standard history of the English language as it is, and has long been used, indeed, now worldwide for both pleasant and informative writing, and now for those who will / actually do use it in their computing and word-processing. Its original author and shaper of the whole was a much esteemed scholar of Middle English, and an excellent editor of a number of that period of the language's classic texts, as with the several very detailed chronicle /western texts works that he had edited for the Early English Text Society. This present edition of his history of the language, like its predecessor, the fifth has been assembled and revised by the much younger American scholar, Professor Thomas Cable, a deservedly renowned scholar of English dialects and idiom, right up to the present, and, more recently, in their variations worldwide; and 'Baugh' is now published by / an imprint of the Taylor Francis Group, as located in both London and in New York.
