Author Description

Rather Than The Standard American Story Of An Increasingly Triumphant March Of Scientific Inquiry Towards Structural Phonology, Women, Language And Linguistics Reveals Linguistics Where Its Purpose Was Communication; The Appeal Of Languages Lay In Their Diversity; And The Authority Of Language Lay In Its Speakers And Writers. Julia S Falk Explores The Vital Part Which Women Have Played In Preserving A Linguistics Based On The Reality And Experience Of Language; This Book Finally Brings To Light A Neglected Perspective For Those Working In Linguistics And The History Of Linguistics.
