By Thomas Pyles
New York: Random House, (1952).
First edition, first printing.
Pyles offers an account of the unfolding of the English language in America telling it's history, culture and evolution through settlers, British, Indians, immigrants, and adaptive elements.
He also offers pronunciation accounts and guides for the language he hears and reads in everyday life.
An absorbing, authoritative account of the origins, coinages, growth, usage, and the 1950s state of the English language in America.
Fine in black cloth with gilt lettering against red, white and blue spine blocks; in a very good plus dust jacket with a short tear to the upper edge of the rear panel, and a small snag to the spine panel; original $3.50 price still intact to the front inner flap.
Nice and presentable!
