Quite the opposite - it's extremely curious and erudite. The problem is with me - I'm not a Briton, hence can't thoroughly understand and enjoy both broad generalizations and subtle nuances of the British accents and dialects. Yet since I was listening to an audio book - perhaps a format best suited for 'reading' it - even I managed to sneak a peek at a great universe of tongues, existing on a relatively small island. Which always fascinates me, Russian, who comes from a huuge territory with almost universal pronunciation and grammar. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Did you know that the court of Richard II spoke in broad Yorkshire? Why is one perceived to be richer, taller, and more attractive if one speaks the Queen's English? This work leads you through the history of British accents and how they developed. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
