Product details

Presents an exploration of the evolution of language. This book uncovers the elusive forces of creation at work in human communication. Along the way, it explains why German girls are neuter while German turnips are feminine, why we have feet and not foot sayings, and how significant changes in pronunciation can result from simple laziness.
