Say What? Books on Language & Linguistics

by Bexii
//
15 books

Non-fiction books about language and linguistics. This is not a list about how to learn a specific language (although I did include one book about how to learn any language because I think it still fits the theme I'm going for). The books here are about language(s) in general or about a person's experience with language. I've chosen not to include any traditional textbooks. Recommendations are welcome! 😊
