H. L. Mencken: The American Language (Hardcover)

Kansilehtisessä kulumaa, muutamia pieniä repeämiä ja takakannessa hieman tahraa. Muuten kirja ihan siistissä kunnossa.

Yhdistelen huutoja samaan pakettiin postikulujen vähentämiseksi.

This groundbreaking study clarifies the differences between British and American English and defines the distinguishing characteristics of American English. Cigar-chomping newspaperman H. L. Mencken succeeds not only in providing a lucid description of the American language but also in making his readers laugh, wince, and nod in agreement. It's a readable and fascinating study on why you say "tomayto" and I say "tomahto." A must read for anyone who loves words.
