Iggy Thorne and the Great Language Glitch

By Craig Lancashire

A whimsical romp through the science of language.

Ever wondered what keeps a word attached to its meaning? Or how a single sound changes a "Bat" to a "Pat"?

Meet Iggy Thorne. He's about to give you a crash course in linguistics-while fighting for his life. In The Case of the Wandering Signifier, the "Gallery of Gravity's Grumbles" becomes a living laboratory where linguistic theories manifest as physical threats.

Through four chaotic chapters, readers will explore:

Semiotics: The fragile bridge between the Signifier and the Signified.Phonology: The voiced and voiceless sounds that build our speech.Morphology: The "chemistry" of prefixes, suffixes, and roots.Syntax: The hierarchical "tree" of sentence structure.

Part Douglas Adams, part introductory textbook, this story proves that the invisible glue holding our perception together is more fascinating-and more fragile-than we ever imagined.
