## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautiful Layout, Good Overview
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2009*

This book is really beautiful - the fonts used and the layout are very distinctive. A++ on that.The book itself is a series of short chapters on a wide variety of language topics each of which could stand alone. It is interesting and well written, if a tad dry, but not too deep on any one topic. Think of a series of magazine articles in a magazine devoted to a particular interest, where the level of vocabulary assumes some knowledge of the topic. The chapters are all cross referenced - it would easily move to a web article.The breath of topics is very wide - from sounds and physiology to computer translation by way of grammar and language families. Overall it is very informative, but a book to take in small doses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Total Book on Language
  

*by R***C on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2007*

This book covers every aspect of language: the physiological, paralingual communication, nuances of language, and almost any other thing that you can think of involving language. It is from England so some of the spellings and phrasings are different, but I found it to be interesting, readable, and full of new information, based on the latest research.
