Michael will also look forward to his forthcoming eight-part BBC 2 survey of British social history, The Great British Story, which follows on from Story of England, tracing the social history of the British people from the romans until today.

Tue 1 May, 6pm internet linguistics – Professor David Crystal olD sEssions HoUsE, lonGPorT, CAnTErBUrY CAMPUs

What influence is the internet having on language, and what is happening to language as it comes to be used on the internet?

There is a great deal of misleading popular mythology, which needs to be replaced by precise linguistic description. This talk presents the view that the internet is in some respects a linguistic revolution, introducing new opportunities for communication, but that its influence on individual languages has so far been quite limited.
