Can be on anything really
some ideas for book topics:
- Metaphors and how they effect us in the modern day
- The limits and problems with translation and beauty from fault
- How capitalism effects our language and relations
- The tyranny of the Dictionary
- Philosophy’s relationship with language
- How language effect love
- How therapy talk can be suffocating
- Language and colonialism
- The Language of religion
I have been thinking about language more and more recently and how we use it and want to read some theory on it
One that I’ve heard good things about is The Language Instinct.
There’s a Very Short Introductions: Linguistics book. The VSIs are usually a good start, and typically have a ‘further reading’ section to get more book ideas.
