Table of ContentsPREFACE vi A DATE WITH LANGUAGE 1 APPENDIX 368 REFERENCES 369 INDEX 387Reviews‘I use it as a reference book when I need a quick reminder of some aspect of something I’d once learned but long since forgotten, but more often I read it for the pleasure of it, as each entry is a magnificent tiny work of art. Not a single word was penned in haste, you can feel it as you read and it seems to slow the world down a beat.’ -- Gretchen Bakke * publicbooks.org * Author InformationDavid Crystal is a writer, editor, lecturer and broadcaster on language, and honorary professor of linguistics at Bangor University.
