Language Myths by Laurie Bauer & Peter Trudgill & G.B. Trudeau

Language Myths The field of language is one which abounds with folk myths, misconceptions about the way in which language works or is used. This book tackles these folk beliefs head on in a series of entertaining and informative chapters in which a variety of linguists look at and correct a catalogue of errors, such as: aborigines speak a primitive language; French people speak faster; German is ugly; Italian is beautiful; English spelling is stupid; and so on.
