The Language Web: The Power and Problem of Words - The 1996 BBC Reith Lectures
Aitchison, Jean (University of Oxford)
Language is like a vast spider's web. In this volume Jean Aitchison explores the different facets of this web, ranging from its biological nature and the way in which language is acquired by children to the way the web has aided language evolution. This is the text of the 1996 BBC Reith lectures, with illustrations, notes, and an afterword which looks at the reception of the lectures.
