About The Book

In „Speaking Freely,“ Anne H. Soukhanov, one of America’s leading lexicographers, invites us into the irresistible world of words. Soukhanov provides a sweeping look at the richness and astonishing variety of American English. Here we discover not only the origin and history of many of our most delightful words but also the changing cultural conditions that produced them. With chapters on Americanisms, cyberspace, advertising, fighting words, fitness, geography, economics, sex, crime, gender, generation gaps, and many other subjects, „Speaking Freely“ covers the whole spectrum of language in America from the Pilgrims to the present.
