ATEG Members,
I want to thank all of you who suggested book titles for my upcoming
course in History of the English Language.
While I was aware of some of the titles suggested, many I was not.
I see a real gap in this area of textbooks that treat the history of
the English language in the United States. Craigie, Krapp, Mencken, and
Marckwardt are all gone. In my search, I did find A Host of Tongues
by Conklin and Lourie, but it is hopelessly out of date.
Thanks again,
Dr. Marshall Myers
