Synopsis

500 p paperback with index. From Kirkus Reviews: "A virtual encyclopedia of language, so broad in scope that its subtitle can only int at its content... A user-friendly introduction to the many hitherto-unthought-of aspects of language. Packed with information, memorable anecdotes and surprising statistics, all presented with assurance and enthusiasm."
