Bad Language: Are Some Words Better than Others?
Battistella, Edwin L. (Dean, School of Arts and Letters, and Professor of English, Dean, School of Arts and Letters, and Professor of English, Southern Oregon University)
Is today's language at an all-time low? Edwin Battistella argues that it is wrong to think of slang, regional dialects and nonstandard grammar as simply breaking the rules of good English. Reexamining debates over relativism in language, Battistella argues that we should view language as made up of alternative forms of regularity and orderliness, which require informed engagement with usage.
