You Are What You Speak: Grammar Grouches, Language Laws, and the Politics of Identity by Robert Lane Greene

4.0

Incredibly well written without ever resorting to jargon, and not in the 'stupefyingly simple' way that turn of phrase usually means. Best case for language as a living, breathing thing that I've read for a long while, and if you want a gateway book into the study of linguistics you could do a lot worse than this effort.
