Krátky popis
Nothing inflames the language gripers like a misplaced
disinterested, an illogical irregardless, a hideous
operationalisation. To purists these are 'howlers' and 'non-words',
fit only for scorn. But in their rush to condemn such terms, are
the naysayers missing something? In this provocative and hugely
entertaining book, Rebecca Gowers throws light on a great array of
horrible words, and shows how the diktats of the pedants are
repeatedly based on misinformation, false reasoning and straight-up
snobbery. The result is a brilliant work of history, a
surreptitious introduction to linguistics, and a mischievous salute
to the misusers of the language. It is also a bold manifesto
asserting our common rights over English, even as it questions the
true nature of style.
