Riassunto

Una raccolta unica di saggi originali di 21 dei principali linguisti del mondo. Gli argomenti trattati si concentrano su alcuni dei miti pi� popolari sulla lingua: I media stanno rovinando l'inglese; I bambini non sanno pi� parlare o scrivere correttamente; L'America sta rovinando la lingua inglese. Il tono � vivace e divertente e ci sono vignette di Doonesbury e The Wizard of Id per illustrare alcuni dei punti. Il libro dovrebbe avere un vasto pubblico di lettori non solo tra gli studenti che vogliono leggere i principali linguisti che scrivono di idee sbagliate popolari, ma anche tra il gran numero di persone a cui piace leggere sulla lingua in generale.
