A fascinating book with amazing insight into a range of different understandings of language and accent. I found the end of this chapter quite compelling in its description of how medical conditions can make us lose control of our identities and alter who we are; very powerful anecdotes of stammers.

I love the way the author argues his points throughout the book, and the thoughtfulness that characterises these arguments.

This book is really interesting to read and has your attention on every single word. I especially love how it is dotted with humour throughout when things can get technical or confusing, which makes it highly accessible and fun.

I’m finding the chapter on the history of accent to be much more enjoyable than I anticipated. I saw a history of accent, and felt reluctant to read on as I felt it would be boring. Instead it has been highly interesting and pleasurable to read about.
