“Understanding the workings of grammar liberates. If you don’t know how to construct a sentence, how can you express yourself?” Read two long excerpts from Beyond Words: How Language Reveals the Way We Live Now by John Humphrys online here and here. The book has a very British cast, but everyone fascinated by language will find these excerpts interesting and entertaining.
