Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 336 pages. dj chipped, name ffep, From Publishers WeeklyLinguist Crystal (How Language Works) elucidates t he serendipitous nature of language study as he meanders from Wales to San Franc isco by way of England and Poland, taking every opportunity for linguistic explo ration. A somewhat rambling travelogue is paired with Crystal's idiosyncratic th ought processes, and the book is full of descriptive anecdotes culminating in li nguistic intrigue. Often something simple such as an impromptu Good morning from a Welsh shepherd is the trigger, in this case prompting the history of the shep herd's crook of the book's title. Crystal searches for?and finds?surprising topics in the lush cultures surrounding him, including the etymology of the name of a Welsh town which contains 58 letters (it's Llanfairpwll for short), causin g him to speculate on why words containing consonants like m, n, l, and r are co nsidered the most beautiful, to discuss the linguistic processes of a wordplayer and to conclude with a version of Hamlet in which every word begins with h. In a conversational style that includes plenty of quirky facts, Crystal captures th e exploratory, seductive, teasing, quirky, tantalizing nature of language study, and in doing so illuminates the fascinating world of words in which we live.
