Review # 1 was written on 2010-04-26 00:00:00 Wolfgang Maier This book gives a good explanation of how a very explicit culture is embedded in Anglo-American English that is not shared by other English speakers. the author attributes this to the writings of John Locke and the English Enlightenment. This is both an historical and a linguistic analysis of the meanings that are transmitted by the specific use of words and construction of sentences.
