商品簡介
Cameron reflects on language and above all on its value and essentiality in people's lives in the context of two dangers he sees to it: the crumbling of language diversity and the collapsing of individual language skills. His essays are silence, like gold, is the currency of the powerful; the birth of language; words are a gift from the dead; the creation of the social mind; big is not beautiful, but merely more profitable; register; and the need for a lingua franca and its inherent dangers.
