Story of English - An English Speaking World

January 22nd, 2008 · or link to (permalink)


Ooh this is good. How can you not be interested in a documentary about the English language that kicks of with the horrible neologism “Russlish” but is, in fact, part of a very thorough and engaging series. This is utterly compelling in both a post modern and classical sort of way. Totally appropriate for a series about language.

    Oh, thank you for putting this up! I saw it when it first aired on TV and it utterly fascinated me.

    I’ve wanted to see this again for years, but it doesn’t seem to work for me.
