"It gives a really in-depth view of all the cultural and political influences that shaped the English language to what it is today. Kind of nice to read if you have the time and interest for these kind of things."
"For a history of language textbook, this was quite accessible. I point that out because accessibility is not discussed enough in academia. As a student, I appreciate how Baugh is careful not to write a history of blatant ethnocentrism while still recognizing the achievements and the complexities in the development of the English Language."
