Question

In the text a brief history of football what language does the author use to describe development of the ball over time how does this language support the the point

Answer 1

The writer of the text - A Brief History of Football – and “Soccer” uses informal english lanuage to communicate to the readers. His tone is rather colloquial and conversational.

This style supports the point he is trying to make because the evolution of and adoption of the word "soccer" for instance seem to have happened informally and became adapted from the more formal phrase "Association Football".
