Overview

This engaging collection of National Public Radio broadcasts and magazine pieces by one of Americaā€™s best-known linguists covers the waterfront of contemporary culture by taking stock of its words and phrases. From our metaphors for the Internet (ā€œVirtual Rialtoā€) to the perils of electronic grammar checkers (ā€œThe Software We Deserveā€), from traditional grammatical bugaboos (ā€œSex and the Singular Verbā€) to the ways we talk about illicit love (ā€œAffairs of Stateā€), Geoffrey Nunberg shows just how much the language we use from day to day reveals about who we are and who we want to be.
