Description

Book Synopsis

This accessible introduction to linguistics by Mario Pei explores the fascinating complexities of human language, from its origins to its diverse forms and functions. Aimed at a general audience, the book delves into language structure, evolution, and how language shapes culture and thought. Pei's engaging style makes complex linguistic ideas approachable, offering readers insights into the universal nature of communication and the nuances that make each language unique.

Mario Andrew Pei (1901-1978) was an Italian-American linguist and polyglot, who is best known for accessible books about languages for readers without a background in linguistics.
