Description
Liverpool's linguistic identity has been shaped by a complex and fascinating history. Scouse: A Social and Cultural History presents a groundbreaking account that challenges conventional wisdom about language in Liverpool, offering an alternative perspective on the city's rich cultural heritage. This book explores the evolution of 'Scouse' from the mid-eighteenth century to the present day, drawing on a diverse range of sources including historical records, literary works, and newspaper accounts. By examining the relationship between language, identity, and place, Crowley provides a radically new understanding of 'Scouse', shedding light on its history, representation, and contemporary social significance. Through its analysis, Scouse: A Social and Cultural History offers a nuanced exploration of the city's linguistic past, one that is informed by recent developments in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology.
