Think on my Words by David Crystal
For decades, people have been studying Shakespeare's life and times and in recent years there has been a renewed surge of interest in aspects of his language. So how can we better understand Shakespeare? David Crystal provides a lively and original introduction to Shakespeare's language, making his plays easily accessible to modern-day audiences. Covering the five main dimensions of language structure - writing system, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and conversational style - this book demonstrates how examining these linguistic 'nuts and bolts' can help us achieve a greater appreciation of Shakespeare's linguistic creativity.
'Here is a linguist [David Crystal] who knows not only how words work but how they work in theatreAnyone who cares for Shakespeare will be informed and entertained by this intriguing and wide-ranging study.' Stanley Wells
