A Mouthful of Air: Language, Languages...Especially English
William Morrow & Co, August 1993. Hardcover. Item #189857
ISBN: 0688119352
Yeats once wrote of a poem, saying he had made it out of a mouthful of air. Burgess advances this point by presenting a fascinating survey of language--how it operates, and how it will develop in the future--that ranges from Shakespearean pronunciation to the place of English in the world family of languages.
