McEnery Anthony. Swearing in English. Bad Language, Purity and Power from 1586 to the Present
Английское сквернословие.

Routledge,
2006. 263 p.
This book is dedicated to those who struggle to have their views heard.
"Swearing in English" uses the spoken section of the British National Corpus to establish how swearing is used, and to explore the associations between bad language and gender, social class and age. The book goes on to consider why bad language is a major locus of variation in English and investigates the historical origins of mode attitudes to bad language.
Drawing on a variety of methodologies, including historical research and corpus linguistics, Tony McEnery takes a sociohistorical approach to discourses about bad language in English, aiming to reflect the diversity of approaches to the subject, and thus to provide a forum for debate and detailed discussion of the various ways of building, exploiting and theorising about the use of corpora in language studies.

Why does language change? Why can we speak to and understand our parents but have trouble reading Shakespeare? Why is Chaucer's English of the fourteenth century so different from Modern English of the late twentieth century that the two are essentially different languages? Why are Americans and English 'one people divided by a common language'? And how can the language of Chaucer and Modern English - or Modern British and American English - stil...
