English language is the Library of Congress subject heading for works about the English language itself: grammar, usage, punctuation, vocabulary, dialects, etymology, history of the language, and English-language-learner reference. In the Writing King library this category covers the working grammar references, usage guides, dictionaries of problem words, and linguistic histories that working writers consult for language-mechanics questions.
