Автор: Thorne,Tony Название: Jolly Wicked, Actually ISBN: 1408700891 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781408700891 Издательство: Little Brown Цена: 1972.00 р. Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: JOLLY WICKED ACTUALLY is a wonderfully entertaining compendium of the hundred words and phrases that have over the last century become the
cornerstones of modern spoken English, and have been used - sometimes deliberately, but often inadvertently - to stake out the common identity that unites the English, to define what
makes us who we are, and thus different from those beastly foreigners who lurk just off our shores. Despite attempts by politicians and writers, despite lessons in citizenship enshrined in
the national curriculum, we have famously never been able to define for posterity precisely what Englishness is. JOLLY WICKED ACTUALLY takes certain well-loved and crucial
expressions such as sorry, nice, common, posh, cuppa, and chippy, explores their strange and wonderful origins, and demonstrates with wit and charm how they are emblems of an era
or an attitude, of a heritage and of the traits and quirks essential to all our notions of Englishness.
