About The Book: Mario Andrew Pei (1901-1978) was an Italian-American linguist and polyglot, who is best known for accessible books about languages for readers without a background in linguistics. Language for Everybody is "an introduction to the history, structure and usage of mankind's most important tool -- communication." Without language, 99% of human activity would cease. Language precedes, accompanies and follows practically all human endeavor. In this basic book on a basic subject, Dr. Mario Pei, one of the world's leading linguistic authorities, tells you what language is, how it began, what makes it grow and how you can make better use of it. LANGUAGE FOR EVERYBODY will give you a new comprehension of this vital force which will enable you to live better and work and play more effectively.
