LANGUAGES: WORDS AND SYMBOLS FOR THINKING
Hardly any field of techniques for thinking is more fascinating than
language. The following list of references, of course, is short; it is
meant chiefly as an introduction pointing out a number of different
paths into the field of language and languages. Such topics as the
following are introduced by the references in this list:
The origin of languages and alphabets.
The languages of the world, and speech communities.
The comparison of words and structure from language to language.
The significance of grammar and syntax.
The problem of clear meanings.
Writing and speaking that is easy to understand.
