- Biografía breve
- Rosemarie Ostler, a linguist and former librarian, loves delving into the rich record of American slang and language use. Her most recent book, Founding Grammars, explores the power of grammar rules and the centuries-long debate over how Americans should talk. Previous books showcase the colorful language of America's past, including obsolete twentieth-century slang, the origins of our most common expressions, and the country's tradition of outrageous political invective. Rosemarie lives in Eugene, Oregon. [adapted from Amazon.com Author Page, retrieved 9/16/2015 and Founding Grammars (2015)]
