Its all too easy for people to lose interest, though, when the answers to their questions turn out to be long and technically challenging. The Five-Minute Linguist: Bite-sized Essays on Language and Languages takes a new approach to making accurate and up-to-date knowledge about language accessible in a non-academic way. It consists of 60 short chapters adapted from the weekly scripts of a popular U.S. public radio series on language. The scripts, contributed by a cross-section of leading professional linguists in America and abroad, address questions like 2How many languages are there in the world?3 2Is elementary school too early to teach foreign languages?3 and 2How good is machine translation?3 They are written with a light touch that has been highly successful in reaching an audience of intelligent non-specialists. The book preserves that light touch while adding such features as an index (to help readers connect topics touched on in more than one chapter) and suggestions for follow-up reading. - Publisher." .
