About this title

Synopsis

Our everyday lives are inevitably touched--and immeasurably enriched--by an extraordinary variety of miniature forms of verbal communication, from classified ads to street signs, and from yesterday's graffito to tomorrow's headline. Short Cuts offers a well-researched and vibrantly written account of minimalist speech.
