An engaging, eclectic, mind-expanding exploration of language, and what it can teach us about our lives. Do birds really talk? What language did Jesus speak? Will ongoing advances in technology ever produce true human-machine dialogue? In EVERY WORD IS A BIRD WE TEACH TO SING, ... language savant and polyglot Daniel Tammet turns his attention to the world of language and how it shapes the human experience. From native Esperanto speakers and Queen Elizabeth's French, to spatial semantics and aspirational vowels, [this] is a delightful, astute, poetic romp through the mesmerizing world of language |
