Review of "The unfolding of language : an evolutionary tour of mankind's greatest invention." on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Excellent book about language and its development, written in a very accessible, not typically "scientific" style. But that doesn't mean you can't use it for your studies - on the contrary. I can highly recommend it to everyone who ever wondered why English spelling is so confusing, why the French don't pronounce half of what they write, or why the words "Islam" and "Muslim" belong together, though they don't look like it at first sight.
