«How Language Works» is David Crystal's popular introduction to language, published by Penguin UK in paperback (400 pages, in English).
A popular journey through language: from the conversion of sounds into speech to how names work, with stops at baby babbling, parental teaching of speech, and politeness variants across languages. Crystal also shows how the way we speak reveals age, origin, and desired identity.
