Opis

In Made in America, Bill Bryson delves into the fascinating history and evolution of the American English language. He explores how a unique American lexicon was born from the fusion of diverse linguistic backgrounds, including the influence of Native American and African American cultures. The book is an entertaining, anecdotal look at the origins of American ideas, debunking myths about the Wild West, Hollywood, and everyday terms. It is a social history that explains not just how Americans speak, but why they are the way they are.
