- Abstract
- The book is about real languages and the way to study them, as they are spoken and written by real people in different social situations. The linguist listens to them, using scientific methodology to analyse what he hears. This book explains a wide range of linguistic phenomena - including polyglott societies, lingzistic pathology, the reconstruction of unrecorded history - their relevance to other branches of science and their practical applicabiblity. It is couched in straightforward terms intelligible to a general audience, including students of modern language departments
