Аннотация к книге: Don't Believe a Word: From Myths to Misunderstandings
'Wonderful. You finish the book more alive than ever to the enduring mystery and miracle of that thing that makes us most human' STEPHEN FRY
- A word's origin doesn't tell you what it means today.
- There are languages that change when your mother-in-law is present.
- The language you speak could make you more prone to accidents.
- There's a special part of the brain that produces swear words.
Taking us on a mind-boggling journey through the science of language, linguist David Shariatmadari uncovers the truth about what we do with words, exploding nine widely-held myths about language while introducing us to some of the fundamental insights of modern linguistics.
