Ashgate Publishing, 2002

A treat for English Lovers
I loved this book. Not only was it fascinating, but also I learned a lot without making my brain hurt. Linda Mitchell nailed her subject and made what could be a really dry boring subject interesting. Her research is strong and clearly presented. I love the way she points out the use of language and words. Reading this, I was amazed at how short a time ago language was in disarray. Every ...

One of the best books about linguistics ever written
This really is one of the best books about linguistics ever written--maybe the best. As a linguist, it brought me to a whole new level of insight about my field.

I managed to make it through six years of graduate school without ever ...

In _The War Against Grammar_ (Boynton / Cook Publishers), he reports upon a hiatus he took from his ...

The Student
I have been a student of Mr. Tom Ready for the last three and a half years now and I think that he has an amazing talent and skill for teaching students in English and Drama. I've learned many things from him and really enjoy his classes. He has the ability to bring out the best in many unlikely students. This book, which contains many games written by some of his students, is an absolute ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

The Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue defines and illustrates every meaning of every word used in written English in Scotland up to 1700, when the Scots language merged with standard English. It touches every facet of medieval and renaissance Scottish life and society and supplies a wealth of illustration in the form of quotations accompanying every word and meaning it discusses. It is an indispensable reference tool for historians of ...
