BOOK NOTICE

The Domain of Language
by Michael Fortescue
Museum Tusculanum Press, University of Copenhagen, 2002
392 pages, hardbound. ISBN 87-7289-706-6. £30, $49.

This book demonstrates that Linguistics, in all its varied branches, can be entertaining as well as thought-provoking. The subject is introduced in an unconventional way as a
kind of fable with a historical moral that professional linguists, as well as students, should enjoy as a useful commentary on the state of the discipline today.
