In this intriguing study on how sounds become speech and how names function, David Crystal answers every question you may have about the basics of language in his usual enlightening manner. On this journey, we learn about eyebrow expressions, whistling languages, how parents teach their children to speak, how politeness travels between languages, and how the way we speak reveals not only how old we are but also where we come from and who we want to become.
