A Common Language: How Words Are Born and Live

Imagine that language is a big city, where words live. Some of them are close relatives, while others are almost strangers. Some are constantly traveling, while others never leave their home.
Who are all these diminutives, dialectisms, pejoratives, lexical doublets, and other mysterious creatures from the dictionary slums?
The author of this book tells about the diversity of language in such an interesting and loving way that you will surely feel the language dancing on your tongue.
