  The history of the English language, as seen through the lens of linguistic analysis, takes a theory-neutral stance for graduate and advanced undergraduate studies. Pyles and Algeo present the differences between our present British and American dialects in a scholarly fashion without confining the student to a prerequisite knowledge of linguistic theory.
