Notes
In this book, the author looks at how the war shaped English, and its relationship with other languages. He considers language in relation to mediation and authenticity, as well as the limitations and potential of different kinds of communication. The "Language of the Front" became linguistic powers in the war, abandoned by soldiers but taken up by academics, memoir writers and commentators, leaving an indelible mark on the words we use even today.
