This book, written by Lesley and James Milroy, explores the notion of 'correct' and 'incorrect' language. In this fully revised and updated third edition, it addresses the most recent arguments about teaching Standard English in Britain and compares language ideologies in Britain and the USA, including a discussion of the 'English Only' movement and the 'Ebonics' controversy. The authors consider the historical process of standardization and its social consequences, particularly discrimination against low-status and ethnic minority groups based on their linguistic traits. This book is ideal for educators, teachers, and linguists, and for courses in sociolinguistics, modern English grammar, history of English, and language ideology.
