You Know what I Mean?: Words, Contexts and Communication
Ruth Wajnryb
Does a word mean what it says? Sometimes - but not always. Who's using a word and to whom, in what context, for what purpose - all these influence the meaning of the language we use. Wajnryb considers these and other questions to explore how and why our language works the way it does.
