Words simply cannot unambiguously describe how much of an impact this book made and will be making on the way I perceive languages - in my own mind and the minds of others, the why and how we make a choice of a certain word or expression, the subtle clues in one's vocabulary use, the altered perceptions of the world after acquiring a new language, the way we learn, remember, forget, invent, play, feel, interact, express, process and communicate.

Monumental creation.

I had to read this for the class I took at CMU this semester and you better believe I am including it in my Goodreads stats because holy wow was this an exhausting textbook (though very interesting subject matter) and I read every single page of it. We only had access to the e-book because the physical copy was over $100 as is the state of college textbooks... corruption!!! I had such a hard time reading this because I don't have a Kindle/e-reader device so read it on my computer and let me just say that is NOT my preferred reading method. Learned a lot, and I bet if I had read this in physical format it would've been much more pleasant. Not rating this because idk how to rate a literal college textbook.
