Description and Table of Contents
Description
The look at talk explores almost everything about this fundamental human activity - from the first words on earth to the complex wizardry of the brain. This book covers the gamut of humankind's most enigmatic and intriguing skill - from the speech differences between Neaderthals and Cro-Magnons to Freudian slips, from talking to yourself to speaking in tongues.
