Language Has Everything To Do With It,
By
This review is from: What's Language Got to Do with It? (Paperback)
This is a magnificent English, Writing and Linguistics text. I have only just begun, and already there is a line of friends who want it "next". Language is fun, powerful. It defines who we are. This book goes into cartoons, historical detail and sometimes philosophical discussion about the very stuff of which our language is made. There is a serious look at sexist pronouns in the English language, as well as the usage of "Latino" vs. "Hispanic", and examinations of most of the languages that have come into common usage in English as spoken in the United States.
There is plenty of room for an under-motivated student to enjoy the experience of learning about writing and language. It is well worth the $60 price tag, a price undoubtedly defined by the fact that it is a textbook. I bought it anyway, and it will remain a part of my permanent library. It just doesn't get any better than this!
