This book attempts to maintain a proper balance of readability, informartiveness, and fidelity to the interests, goals and trials of linguists as linguists see them. It is an invitation to the reader to see within him and around him the objects of a science and to glimpse how the scientist interprets them. It is not intended to teach linguistics but to help ordinary people divine temselves as the creators and perpetuators of the most wonderful invention of all time.
