Liverpool: A Memoir of Words is a work of creative non-fiction that combines the study of language in Liverpool with social history, the history of the English language and personal memoir. Beautifully written, and based on a lifetime's academic research, it will educate and delight Liverpudlians, students of language and social historians alike.

This ground-breaking account challenges received wisdom about the history of language in Liverpool. Exploring a range of sources, and drawing on recent developments in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology, it provides a radically new understanding of Scouse in terms of its history, representation and social and cultural significance.
