Evolution of English: Challenging the Idea of a Single Correct Form- Keith Johnson

Join Keith Johnson, author of "The History of Late Modern Englishes," as he explores the complex issue of language correctness and the evolution of English. Discover why there is no single correct way to speak English and how historical and global changes have shaped multiple valid English varieties. Keith delves into the spread of English beyond Britain, the rise of American and Australian English, and the emergence of unique forms like the English pidgin in Papua New Guinea. Learn how usage, rather than strict rules, dictates language evolution and why appropriateness in teaching contexts is crucial.
