<meta name="description" content="Audiobook by John McWhorter, The Great Courses, narrated by John McWhorter. <p>Conventional wisdom suggests English is going to the dogs, that bad grammar, slang, and illogical constructions signal a decline in standards of usage - to say nothing of the corruption wrought by email and text messages. </p> <p>But English is a complicated, marvelous language. Far from being a language in decline, English is the product of surprisingly varied linguistic forces, some of which have only recently come to light. And these forces continue to push English in exciting new directions. </p> <p>These 24 eye-opening lectures dispel the cloud of confusion that clings to English, giving you a crystal-clear view of why we use it the way we do and where it fits into the diverse languages of the world. Like an archaeologist sifting through clues to a vanished civilization, you'll uncover the many features of English that sound normal to a native speaker but that linguists find puzzling and also revealing. </p> <p>For example, the only languages that use "do" the way English does (as in "do not walk") are the Celtic languages such as Welsh, which were spoken by people who lived among the early English and influenced their language in many subtle ways. </p> <p>You'll also delight in considering modern controversies about how English is used. For example, "Billy and me went to the store" is considered incorrect, because the subject form, "I," should be used instead of "me." But then why does "Me and Billy went to the store" sound so much more fluent than "I and Billy went to the store"? </p> <p>These examples and many more represent a few of the flash points in English's long history of defying rules, a process that occurs in all languages.

listen</h3> </adbl-content-header> <adbl-text-block slot="summary"> <p>Conventional wisdom suggests English is going to the dogs, that bad grammar, slang, and illogical constructions signal a decline in standards of usage - to say nothing of the corruption wrought by email and text messages. </p> <p>But English is a complicated, marvelous language. Far from being a language in decline, English is the product of surprisingly varied linguistic forces, some of which have only recently come to light. And these forces continue to push English in exciting new directions. </p> <p>These 24 eye-opening lectures dispel the cloud of confusion that clings to English, giving you a crystal-clear view of why we use it the way we do and where it fits into the diverse languages of the world. Like an archaeologist sifting through clues to a vanished civilization, you'll uncover the many features of English that sound normal to a native speaker but that linguists find puzzling and also revealing. </p> <p>For example, the only languages that use "do" the way English does (as in "do not walk") are the Celtic languages such as Welsh, which were spoken by people who lived among the early English and influenced their language in many subtle ways. </p> <p>You'll also delight in considering modern controversies about how English is used. For example, "Billy and me went to the store" is considered incorrect, because the subject form, "I," should be used instead of "me." But then why does "Me and Billy went to the store" sound so much more fluent than "I and Billy went to the store"? </p> <p>These examples and many more represent a few of the flash points in English's long history of defying rules, a process that occurs in all languages. You'll come away from this course with every reason to be a proud, informed, and more self-aware speaker of English.</p><p><b>PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference

progress in physics, describing exactly how scientists reach the conclusions they do. He starts with the atom, which was long hypothesized but wasn’t definitively proven until a paper by Albert Einstein in 1905. That was just the beginning, as researchers probed ever deeper into the atom’s complex structure, leading to the weird findings of quantum mechanics.</p> </p> <div class="bc-divider bc-spacing-small

Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families. </p> </p> <div class="bc-divider bc-spacing-small

We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose. </p> <div class="bc-divider bc-spacing-small bc-divider-secondary"> </div> <span> <ul class="bc-list bc-list-nostyle"> <li class="bc-list-item bc-spacing-micro" > <div class="bc-review-stars"> <span class="full-review-star"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-star-empty-s2 bc-icon-star-empty bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-progress bc-icon-star-fill-s2 bc-icon-star-fill bc-icon-size-small bc-color-progress" > </i> </span> <span class="full-review-star"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-star-empty-s2 bc-icon-star-empty bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-progress bc-icon-star-fill-s2 bc-icon-star-fill bc-icon-size-small bc-color-progress" > </i> </span> <span class="full-review-star"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-star-empty-s2 bc-icon-star-empty bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-progress bc-icon-star-fill-s2 bc-icon-star-fill bc-icon-size-small bc-color-progress" > </i> </span> <span class="full-review-star"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-star-empty-s2 bc-icon-star-empty bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-progress bc-icon-star-fill-s2 bc-icon-star-fill bc-icon-size-small bc-color-progress" > </i> </span> <span class="full-review-star"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-star-empty-s2 bc-icon-star-empty bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-progress bc-icon-star-fill-s2 bc-icon-star-fill bc-icon-size-small bc-color-progress" > </i> </span> </div> <span class="bc-text bc-pub-offscreen" >5 out of 5 stars</span> </li> <li class="bc-list-item bc-spacing-micro" > <h2 class="bc-heading bc-color-base bc-size-base bc-text-bold bc-text-quote" > listen.. .then listen again </h2> </li> <li class="bc-list-item bc-size-mini bc-color-secondary" > By <span class="bc-text bc-color-base" >Casiano</span> on 12-22-16 </li> </ul> </span> </div> </div> <p class="bc-text oneLine bc-spacing-s0_5 bc-spacing-top-none bc-text-left bc-size-callout bc-color-carbon65%"> By: <a class="bc-link bc-color-link" tabindex="0" href="/author/Don-Miguel-Ruiz-Jr/B00AYHCBJM?ref_pageloadid=wd49b8uMzieitSm9&pf_rd_p=3c14cb09-3443-47f2-8da7-1f77d63f593f&pf_rd_r=VFBCGTS76A7M7P6D1XXG&plink=cd8WAeF9C4Aa4ek2&pageLoadId=KP3CsYR4bgOag8s1&creativeId=bd3b6000-59ff-40b4-96df-c937d020fe21&ref=a_pd_Myths-_c141_adblp13ntcdx_1_6_1">Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.</a> </p> </div> </div> <div id="" class="bc-row product-carousel-item" style=""> <div class="bc-col carousel-product bc-col-2"> <div data-trigger="product-list-flyout-B07B6VKCWB" class="bc-trigger bc-pub-block bc-trigger-popover"> <a class="bc-link bc-color-link" tabindex="0" aria-hidden='false' aria-describedby='product-list-flyout-B07B6VKCWB' href="/pd/Ho-Tactics-Audiobook/B07B6VKCWB?ref_pageloadid=wd49b8uMzieitSm9&pf_rd_p=3c14cb09-3443-47f2-8da7-1f77d63f593f&pf_rd_r=VFBCGTS76A7M7P6D1XXG&plink=cd8WAeF9C4Aa4ek2&pageLoadId=KP3CsYR4bgOag8s1&creativeId=bd3b6000-59ff-40b4-96df-c937d020fe21&ref=a_pd_Myths-_c141_adblp13ntcdx_2_1"> <div class="adbl-asin-impression " data-asin="B07B6VKCWB" data-widget="" data-position="1" data-face-out="" data-source="" data-url="/pd/Ho-Tactics-Audiobook/B07B6VKCWB?ref_pageloadid=wd49b8uMzieitSm9&pf_rd_p=3c14cb09-3443-47f2-8da7-1f77d63f593f&pf_rd_r=VFBCGTS76A7M7P6D1XXG&plink=cd8WAeF9C4Aa4ek2&pageLoadId=KP3CsYR4bgOag8s1&creativeId=bd3b6000-59ff-40b4-96df-c937d020fe21&ref=a_pd_Myths-_c141_adblp13ntcdx_2_1" > <div> <picture> <source type="image/webp" srcset="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519ig5JihYL._SL160_.jpg 1x, https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519ig5JihYL._SL320_.jpg 2x" /> <source type="image/jpg" srcset="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519ig5JihYL._SL160_.jpg 1x, https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519ig5JihYL._SL320_.jpg 2x" /> <img id="product-carousel-image-c141-i7" class="bc-pub-block bc-image-inset-border js-only-element" src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519ig5JihYL._SL320_.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Ho Tactics Audiobook By G.

bc-size-small bc-color-base"> <p>Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time. </p> </p> <div class="bc-divider bc-spacing-small bc-divider-secondary"> </div> <span> <ul class="bc-list bc-list-nostyle"> <li class="bc-list-item

In fact, our ability to curse comes from a different part of the brain than other parts of speech - the urgency with which we say "f--k!" is instead related to the instinct that tells us to flee from danger. Language evolves with time, and so does what we consider profane or unspeakable. <i>Nine Nasty Words</i> is a rollicking examination of profanity, explored from every angle: historical, sociological,

cultures, are traditional accounts of the origins of the universe, the earth, and humanity. Often embodied as epic poetry, and told through the acts of divine beings, creation stories illuminate the values, beliefs, and creeds of the earliest civilizations. As such, these stories show us how early cultures made sense of the human condition, in theological, philosophical, and political terms. These 12 dynamic and thought-provoking lectures offer you a penetrating look at the origin stories of the great civilizations of the Mediterranean.</p> </p> <div class="bc-divider bc-spacing-small

That's the focus of these exciting 24 lectures, in which you examine the differences in people's personalities, where these differences come from, and how they shape our lives. Drawing on information gleaned from psychology, neuroscience, and genetics, Professor Leary opens the door to understanding how personality works and why. </p> <div class="bc-divider bc-spacing-small bc-divider-secondary"> </div> <span> <ul class="bc-list bc-list-nostyle"> <li class="bc-list-item bc-spacing-micro" > <div class="bc-review-stars"> <span class="full-review-star"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-star-empty-s2 bc-icon-star-empty bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-progress bc-icon-star-fill-s2 bc-icon-star-fill bc-icon-size-small bc-color-progress" > </i> </span> <span class="full-review-star"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-star-empty-s2 bc-icon-star-empty bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-progress bc-icon-star-fill-s2 bc-icon-star-fill bc-icon-size-small bc-color-progress" > </i> </span> <span class="full-review-star"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-star-empty-s2 bc-icon-star-empty bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-progress bc-icon-star-fill-s2 bc-icon-star-fill bc-icon-size-small bc-color-progress" > </i> </span> <span class="full-review-star"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-star-empty-s2 bc-icon-star-empty bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-progress bc-icon-star-fill-s2 bc-icon-star-fill bc-icon-size-small bc-color-progress" > </i> </span> <span class="full-review-star"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-star-empty-s2 bc-icon-star-empty bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-progress bc-icon-star-fill-s2 bc-icon-star-fill bc-icon-size-small bc-color-progress" > </i> </span> </div> <span class="bc-text bc-pub-offscreen" >5 out of 5 stars</span> </li> <li class="bc-list-item bc-spacing-micro" > <h2 class="bc-heading bc-color-base bc-size-base bc-text-bold bc-text-quote" > As an addict, I listened to this book.

bc-size-body bc-color-secondary"> John McWhorter is always funny and this is a fascinating look at some selected linguistic topics. I especially enjoyed the ones on poetry and texting. This would be a good one to listen to if you are new to him, and would be accessible to an interested high schooler. If you have listened to his other Great Courses and books, some of this will be repetitive. In any case, he's always a joy for me to listen to. <br/> <br/>Even if you don't agree with him on current politics (I happen to, but it really doesn't come up in these lectures), you will enjoy this offering. <br/> </p> <div id="reviewVoteButtons75ef4ee9794d4c9a89e55e97b216d422"> <div id="" class="bc-row-responsive bc-spacing-top-mini bc-spacing-mini" style=""> <div class="bc-col-responsive bc-col-12"> <div data-trigger="anonReportInappropriateContent" class="bc-trigger bc-trigger-modal"> <a class="bc-link anonReportInappropriateLink bc-color-link" tabindex="0" role='button' id="75ef4ee9794d4c9a89e55e97b216d422"> Report this </a> </div> </div> </div> <p id="reviewVoteFailure75ef4ee9794d4c9a89e55e97b216d422" class="bc-text bc-pub-hidden bc-spacing-mini bc-spacing-top-none bc-size-footnote bc-color-error"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-exclamation-triangle-s2 bc-icon-exclamation-triangle bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <span class="bc-letter-space bc-letter-space-micro"></span> Something went wrong.

bc-color-secondary"> There really is only one myth about English, that there is only one proper way to speak it and all other ways are wrong. Columbia linguist John McWhorter has many angles and innumerable examples of why that is not and should not be the case, how the English language evolved to its pre-eminent place atop contemporary world languages precisely because of its tolerance for adaptation to changing usage. <br/> <br/>As a big fan of McWhorter's books and Great Courses lectures on language (although not a fan of his prescriptivist intolerance of what he calls cancel culture), I've learned almost all of this from him before -- the Welsh "do", the Viking ESL effect, the complex Tzez language, the Phoenician factor in old German, texting, etc. There are a few new wrinkles, but if you've listened to McWhorter before, much of this is familiar. If on the other hand you're new to him, this may be the most concise introduction. <br/> <br/>Proving McWhorter's point of how language can evolve, his lecture on pronouns, recorded in 2012, is already outdated in one key area -- the lecture on pronouns. While he spends considerable time defending the use of "they" as a singular noun, we have since witnessed the introduction of "they/them" as a non-binary gender-neutral singular pronoun. So that stands out as a noticeable absence, but only because of the passage of time. <br/> <br/>I've always given McWhorter five stars across the board -- even his narration, which some people don't like (but I do). In this case, four stars -- dated, a repeat of other lectures, and in the narration, maybe I just never noticed this before, but I started to wince every time he said "for example" because he said it so much, even when he wasn't actually giving examples (just a verbal tic). </p> <div id="reviewVoteButtons535613ebf55a4adc9d7773a96771e252"> <div id="" class="bc-row-responsive bc-spacing-top-mini bc-spacing-mini" style=""> <div class="bc-col-responsive bc-col-12"> <div data-trigger="anonReportInappropriateContent" class="bc-trigger bc-trigger-modal"> <a class="bc-link anonReportInappropriateLink bc-color-link" tabindex="0" role='button' id="535613ebf55a4adc9d7773a96771e252"> Report this </a> </div> </div> </div> <p id="reviewVoteFailure535613ebf55a4adc9d7773a96771e252" class="bc-text bc-pub-hidden bc-spacing-mini bc-spacing-top-none bc-size-footnote bc-color-error"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="bc-icon bc-icon-fill-base bc-icon-exclamation-triangle-s2 bc-icon-exclamation-triangle bc-icon-size-small bc-color-base" > </i> <span class="bc-letter-space bc-letter-space-micro"></span> Something went wrong.

illogical constructions signal a decline in standards of usage - to say nothing of the corruption wrought by email and text messages. <\/p> <p>But English is a complicated, marvelous language. Far from being a language in decline, English is the product of surprisingly varied linguistic forces, some of which have only recently come to light. And these forces continue to push English in exciting new directions. <\/p> <p>These 24 eye-opening lectures dispel the cloud of confusion that clings to English, giving you a crystal-clear view of why we use it the way we do and where it fits into the diverse languages of the world. Like an archaeologist sifting through clues to a vanished civilization, you'll uncover the many features of English that sound normal to a native speaker but that linguists find puzzling and also revealing. <\/p> <p>For example, the only languages that use \"do\" the way English does (as in \"do not walk\") are the Celtic languages such as Welsh, which were spoken by people who lived among the early English and influenced their language in many subtle ways. <\/p> <p>You'll also delight in considering modern controversies about how English is used. For example, \"Billy and me went to the store\" is considered incorrect, because the subject form, \"I,\" should be used instead of \"me.\" But then why does \"Me and Billy went to the store\" sound so much more fluent than \"I and Billy went to the store\"? <\/p> <p>These examples and many more represent a few of the flash points in English's long history of defying rules, a process that occurs in all languages. You'll come away from this course with every reason to be a proud, informed, and more self-aware speaker of English.<\/p>" , "image": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51u7qR2ZGIL._SL500_.jpg" ,
