The Workings of Language: From Prescriptions to Perspectives

This volume suggests that claims about language are not to be taken at face value. Linguists explore the picture underlying language in our society, discussing prescriptivism, Black English, Ozark English, American Sign Language, English-Only, Endangered Languages, and media communication.
