Krátky popis
Now in paperback, in the tradition of E. H. Gombrich's A Little
History of the World, a lively journey through the story of
language With a language disappearing every two weeks and
neologisms springing up almost daily, an understanding of the
origins and currency of language has never seemed more relevant.In
this charming volume, a narrative history written explicitly for a
young audience, expert linguist 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. In animated fashion, Crystal sheds light on the development
of unique linguistic styles, the origins of obscure accents, and
the search for the first written word.He discusses the plight of
endangered languages, as well as successful cases of linguistic
revitalization. Much more than a history, Crystal's work looks
forward to the future of language, exploring the effect of
technology on our day-to-day reading, writing, and speech. Through
enlightening tables, diagrams, and quizzes, as well as Crystal's
avuncular and entertaining style, A Little Book of Language will
reveal the story of language to be a captivating tale for all ages.
