Popis: | The article deals with studying the history of English normative tradition in grammar, phraseology and pronunciation. Special attention is paid to the grammar by Joseph Priestley and normative tradition in The Times, British daily national newspaper. The author states that early norms appeared during the dominance of Greek and Latin traditions and mentions the sources that Joseph Priestley used while writing his grammar book. It is interesting to note that during the time studied grammar books included some examples of ‘bad English’. In the 20th century, RP (Received Pronunciation) norm appeared and it is now gradually superseded by EE (Estuary English). |
