What's in a word A lot,as IN A WORD tells us! Words travel through time and evolve-taking on new characteristics,new meanings,and providing fascinating tales of people,places,and times long ago. Each entry of IN A WORD tells its tale in a witty short-story style,often accompanied by fun illustrations.Though several of the entries in the book provide the kind of linguistic details found in the finest dictionaries,IN A WORD's lively,anecdotal style makes it more entertaining than a traditional reference book. It's a perfect addition to any family home,or as a gift.The book also comes with a language chart and index. With an introduction by a linguistics scholar.
