Abstract

This article discusses certain variations in the meaning of the term "Anglo-Saxon" as used by several writers. In a book by Robert Byron, it is noted that "Anglo-Saxon" is used in the sense "English speech of today." But in an article that appeared in "Manchester Guardian Weekly," the term has been used to mean "plain English" as distinguished from "Latinate." Again, in another article in the "Saturday Review of Literature," the term is used to denote a particular racial group. Finally, in an article printed by "Baltimore Sun," "Anglo-Saxon" is used in the sense "world English," which is a widespread meaning of the term.
