Description

This book is intended as counter-evidence to the perception that Linguistics is a domain of dusty schoolroom grammar.

It follows that linguistics can be characterised differently than as proponents of theoretical orientations who spend their brief breaks from their bone-dry work bashing each other over the head with their different favourite abstractions.

The discipline may appear to outsiders as fragmented and -- worse still -- lacking in relevance to the real world outside its gates.

This book demonstrates that Linguistics, in all its varied branches, can be entertaining as well as thought-provoking, and that its domain is indeed a coherent one despite all the internecine squabbling.

In an unconventional way Michael Fortescue introduces his subject as a kind of fable with a historical moral that professional linguists, as well as students, should enjoy as a useful commentary on the state of the discipline today.
