Lexicography is not just an exercise in linguistic accounting, writes preeminent English language scholar David Crystal in this exceptionally lively and erudite little book. It is a voyage of lexical exploration and discovery.In Words, Words, Words, Crystal takes readers on a fascinating linguistic adventure, exploring the English language in all its oddity, complexity, and ever-changing beauty. Traveling from word origins and word evolution to wordgangs, wordrisks, wordplay, wordgames and beyond, Crystal shares his immense knowledge of, and equally immense delight in, language. He celebrates new words, old words, words that snarl and words that purr, elegant words and taboo words, plain English words and convoluted gobbledegook, eponyms and antonyms, spoonerisms and malapropisms, and a host of other written and spoken forms and variations.Words, Words, Words
