Customer Reviews

An erudite and entertaining book on words.

I found this book instructive as well as a pleasure to read. The subject of the book cuts accross many disciplines, and the result is very stimulating. Although different in scope, this book compares favourably with Pinker's recent popular book on linguistics.
