Mother Tongue: English and How It Got that Way 母语:英语的历史 英文原版 [平装] pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载
内容简介
With dazzling wit and astonishing insight, Bill Bryson—the acclaimed author of The Lost Continent—brilliantly explores the remarkable history, eccentricities, resilience and sheer fun of the English language. From the first descent of the larynx into the throat (why you can talk but your dog can't), to the fine lost art of swearing, Bryson tells the fascinating, often uproarious story of an inadequate, second-rate tongue of peasants that developed into one of the world's largest growth industries.
作者简介
With a wacky worldview -- and wanderlust -- that garners him comparisons to everyone from Chaucer to Dave Barry, Bill Bryson entertains readers around the world with his travelogues and riffs on the intricacies of language.

是从全球角度来写的。不只学到英语,还对其它国家语言有认识。一直以为日语5个元音简单,原来欧洲有种濒临灭绝语言才3个元音。
