David Crystal proves why the story of language deserves retelling. From the first words of an infant to the peculiar modern dialect of text messaging, A Little Book of Language ranges widely, revealing language's myriad intricacies and quirks. He discusses the plight of endangered languages, as well as successful cases of linguistic revitalisation. |
