Description

In a world where a language disappears every two weeks and new words appear daily, understanding the origins and current value of language has never been more important.

In this accessible and enjoyable book, David Crystal demonstrates that the history of language needs to be retold. Everything one needs to know about the phenomenon of human communication, from the first words of toddlers to the dialect of text messages, as well as a range of topics such as slang, geographic variations, grammar, and spelling, are examined in this book.

Going beyond the limits of a simple narrative, A Little Book About Language directs our attention to the future of language, exploring the impact of technology on how we read, write, and speak in our daily lives.
