Here is the captivating story of humankind’s enduring quest to build a betterlanguage-and overcome the curse of Babel. Just about everyone has heard ofEsperanto, which was nothing less than one man’s attempt to bring about worldpeace by means of linguistic solidarity. And every Star Trek fan knows aboutKlingon. But few people have heard of Babm, Blissymbolics, Loglan (not to beconfused with Lojban), and the nearly nine hundred other invented languagesthat represent the hard work, high hopes, and full-blown delusions of so manymisguided souls over the centuries. With intelligence and humor, Arika Okrenthas written a truly original and enlightening book for all word freaks, grammargeeks, and plain old language...

A masterpiece of linguistics scholarship, at once erudite and entertaining, confronts the thorny question of how-and whether-culture shapes language and language, culture
Linguistics has long shied away from claiming any link between a language and the culture of its speakers: too much simplistic (even bigoted) chatter about the romance of Italian and the goose-stepping orderliness of German has made serious thinkers wary of the entire subject.
