This Is the Voice by John Colapinto

 

There's a lot that's interesting in this book, and the fact Chomsky's "theories" about language and speech come out looking distinctly garbagelike is a distinct positive for me (my problems are with Chomsky's science, not his politics). There are some things that seem kinda dubious, but I'm not inclined to say they're exactly wrong--just that they seem distinctly counter to my understanding of my own experiences. If a book about how speech and language work and interact seems interesting to you, this book will probably be interesting; if not, then probably not.
