Description: Cambridge, MA. : The MIT Press, 1982. Paperback. 224 pp.- A lucid but not superficial book that explains what linguistics is about as well as how linguists go about their business.

Anyone who has ever pondered our special status as 'the talking species' will find The Language Lottery of compelling interest.English text. Condition : fine & unread.
