We all had teachers who scolded us over the use of um, uh-huh, oh,
like, and mm-hmm. But as linguist N. J. Enfield reveals in How We
Talk, these "bad words" are fundamental to language. Whether we are
speaking with the clerk at the store, our boss, or our spouse,
language is dependent on things as commonplace as a rising tone of
voice, an apparently meaningless word, or a glance-signals so small
that we hardly pay them any conscious attention. Nevertheless, they
are the essence of how we speak. From the traffic signals of speech
to the importance of um, How We Talk revolutionises our
understanding of conversation. In the process, Enfield reveals what
makes language universally-and uniquely-human.
