Book SynopsisAn essential reference work, American English Spelling moves beyond questions of how words are spelled to an understanding of why they are spelled as they are.Trade Review"A book which anyone interested in writing systems, especially English writing, should own... I have two copies of it now and I am sure that they will quickly become... dog-eared and annotated." - Mark Aronoff, Language "One of the most comprehensive books on the subject that you will find... a work intended for the serious student/scholar of American English, its spelling, and its formation." - American Reference Books Annual "One needs to be reminded that English orthography does, in the main, make sense; there is an underlying structure to which most words adhere. In American English Spelling, D. W. Cummings updates Jespersen and other grammarians, elucidating the rules of English orthography in meticulous detail...

St Martin's Press The Unfolding of Language
Book SynopsisBlending the spirit of Eats, Shoots & Leaves with the science of The Language Instinct, an original inquiry into the development of that most essential-and mysterious-of human creations: LanguageLanguage is mankind''s greatest invention-except, of course, that it was never invented. So begins linguist Guy Deutscher''s enthralling investigation into the genesis and evolution of language. If we started off with rudimentary utterances on the level of man throw spear, how did we end up with sophisticated grammars, enormous vocabularies, and intricately nuanced degrees of meaning?Drawing on recent groundbreaking discoveries in modern linguistics, Deutscher exposes the elusive forces of creation at work in human communication, giving us fresh insight into how language emerges, evolves, and decays. He traces the evolution of linguistic complexity from an early Me Tarzan stage to such elaborate single-word constructions as the Turkish sehirlilestireme
