Words, words, words

"David Crystal's lifetime passion has been the English language. In Words, Words, Words, he shows us why words matter. He celebrates new words and old words, words that 'snarl' and words that 'purr', beautiful words and taboo words, new Englishes and regional dialects, plain English and gobbledegook, eponyms and aptonyms, spoonerisms and malapropisms, and a host of other written and spoken forms and variations."--Jacket.
