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

5.0

this book is about more than just language. Starting with English and moving into French, German and smaller varieties, it covers cultural topics along with history and political trends at an accelerating pace. Robert Green offers then an excellent overview of how language is at the very root of our daily lives while bringing several examples that make the reading as pleasant and quotable in future conversations as it can be.
