Words in Time and Place: Exploring Language Through the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary
Crystal, David (Honorary Professor of Linguistics at the University of Wales, Bangor)
How has the English language developed over time? How have words entered the English language, or changed their meaning? David Crystal takes us on a wonderful tour through the origins and evolution of 15 groups of words, from dying to spacecraft. His source is the monumental Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary.
