Originally published in 1964, this book examines where and how the
pattern and texture of speech emerged and whether language is
logical. It looks at linguistics from both the historical and
descriptive points of view, as a physical science and as a social
science. It also discusses the problem of aesthetics in language
and what happens when different languages come into contact with
each other. The book concludes with a discussion of the possibility
of an international language, and indeed whether such a development
would be progress or something that is needed or wanted.
