Review of 'Through the language glass' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Bah. I thought this would be a more general look at how language affects culture and vice-versa, but it appears to be mostly entirely about "the color question," which annoys me immensely.

I do like how he likens discerning between colors in a language with fewer color terms to discerning between tastes you've never quite had before. "It tastes a little like chicken...?" is the new "Grue."
