<b>A mind-expanding, deeply humane tour of language by the bestselling author of <i>Born on a Blue Day</i> and <i>Thinking in Numbers</i>.</b><br><br> Is vocabulary destiny? Why do clocks "talk" to the Nahua people of Mexico? Will A.I. researchers ever produce true human-machine dialogue? In this mesmerizing collection of essays, Daniel Tammet answers these and many other questions about the intricacy and profound power of language. <br><br> In <i>Every Word Is a Bird We Teach to Sing</i>, Tammet goes back in time to London to explore the numeric language of his autistic childhood; in Iceland, he learns why the name Blær became a court case; in Canada, he meets one of the world's most accomplished lip readers. He chats with chatbots; contrives an "e"-less essay on lipograms; studies the grammar of the telephone; contemplates the significance of disappearing dialects; and corresponds with native Esperanto speakers - in their mother tongue. <br><br> A joyous romp through the world of words, letters, stories, and meanings, <i>Every Word Is a Bird We Teach to Sing</i> explores the way communication shapes reality. From the art of translation to the lyricism of sign language, these essays display the stunning range of Tammet's literary and polyglot talents.
