Review # 1 was written on 2014-12-14 00:00:00 Cathy Mussert Who would have thunk that I would have found a college text book on English language interesting? I read this book to further understand my son's love of linguistics and immediately became interested. If only I would have had a son when I was in high school, I could have been a genius by now! I never thought about how languages are related and are ever changing. Language is beautiful and such an expression of the greatness of God to me. So much was revealed to me that I had never thought about and then to hear about the "Great Vowel Shift" really blew my mind. I would have given this book five stars but I must reserve that classification for a book that captivates me from start to finish and a textbook will never meet that criteria for me due to my fear of intense thought. Thank you Scott for talking me into reading this book.
