false 2319083 1 Infinitely browsable and completely up to date, The Language Report is a collection of topical and fascinating facts and observations on today's spoken and written English. Using the resources of the world's largest language research programme at Oxford University Press, it presents an up-to-the-minute snapshot of English language today: tracking the latest new words to have entered its usage; investigating old words revived by current events in, for example, the worlds of politics and pop; and examining the most recent trends of language development. This intriguing survey covers language issues reported by the media in recent times, including memorable quotes and sayings of the year; nicknames in the news; new venues for language, such as the Internet chatroom; and controversial developments in usage and grammar. It also analyses English around the world, finding out the latest words and phrases to enter the US or Australian English vocabulary for example; and looks at what the new words were 100 years ago, and how they've developed or disappeared. 2325603 1 11 2003 The Language Report total:2|3:2| 2 6 3 1 3 0 false false Sat Jan 24 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 10:17:16 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 21:54:09 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jan 13 07:09:04 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 13 07:09:04 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Dec 13 06:08:17 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 13 06:08:21 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2319083
