Features: In a book about the wonderful world of words, it is often difficult to find anything particularly relevant to us in our field of vision. However, no science is closer to human nature than linguistics, as it studies the means by which we express our individuality, the way our thoughts are formed, accepted, and made continuous. Unless linguists can clearly and vividly explain their ideas to students of language and the general public, as one linguist has said, for the great failure of schools to teach the general citizenry about language, linguists can only blame themselves. No scientific field contains as many fallacies as linguistics, not only existing but also being taught as truth. Neither do we need to travel abroad nor look back in time to discover many facts about language. They are everywhere, found in our daily writing and conversations, open to different interpretations, and free from the constraints of rules—such as what should be said, what should not be said, what should be written, and what should not be written. Almost all phenomena of interest to linguists appear in people's communication at this very moment. This book invites readers to observe the subject of a science from their own circumstances and surroundings, to see how science explains these materials. Its purpose is to help language users discover the spark within, which has created the most wonderful inventions in history.
