5 out of 5 stars An erudite and entertaining book on words.   February 1, 1998
6 out of 16 found this review helpful

I found this book instructive as well as a pleasure to read. The subject of the book cuts accross many disciplines, and the result is very stimulating. Although different in scope, this book compares favourably with Pinker's recent popular book on linguistics.
