Overview
This book aims to give a certain perspective on the subject of language rather than to assemble facts about it.

Its main purpose is to show what we conceive language to be, what is its variability in place and time, and what are its relations to other fundamental human interests-the problem of thought, the nature of the historical process, race, culture, art.
