Have you heard about the book called “Words on the Move”? If you are like me, then it isn’t a book that you are aware of. However, the author of this article gives us a little insight to the article and review of this book by welcoming us to the world of John McWhorter and his book “Words on the Move”.
This article reviews a book about the semantics of language. It would be beneficial for anyone interested in learning about the variability of written and spoken word.
In his writing, the author of the book uses analogies in ways that have not yet been used when it comes to words. Some of these analogies include junk DNA, scooping out litter boxes, and the mouth anatomy of fin whales just for a few examples. To read more on how he uses these analogies, read more about the review of the book in this article.
Key Takeaways:
1
As I’ve written before, John McWhorter is a master of analogies, and he still commands them in examples like this one.
2
The tongue analogy above isn’t even in reference to articulatory phonetics, as you might think in a book about language.
3
The theme of this book is how words not only do change, but are inevitably bound to.
