Abstract:

What is language, really? Where did it come from, and how did we
figure it out? How do babies go from babbling to full sentences? Why
can some people juggle multiple languages, while others wrestle with
one? How does language work, and what happens when it doesn't? With
sharp insight and a sense of humor, Stollznow dives into the strange
and endlessly fascinating world of language and the mind. From animal
communication to AI, wild children to word slips, and first words to
last, this book takes you deep into the science of psycholinguistics,
where nothing is ever simple, and everything speaks volumes. Packed
with pop culture, real-life cases, and eye-opening experiments, Beyond
Words reveals how we learn, use, and lose language, and what it all
says about being human. If you've ever fumbled for a word or feared
forgetting your own name, this thoughtful, surprising book is for you.
