BOOKS ON TAPE
THE MOTHER TONGUE

By Bill Bryson

(2877) 8 1 Vi -hour cassettes Read by David Case
"More than 350 million people in the J world speak English and the rest, it f sometimes seems, try to." Thus begins Bill Bryson’s engaging jaunt through the quirks and byways of the - world’s most baffling language.

Bryson covers the entire history of language, from the first crude utterings of Neanderthal man to the explosion of English as a global language in this century. We learn why "island," "freight," and "colonel" are spelled ip such unphonetic ways, and why "four" has a "u" in it while "forty" does not. We also discover that Noah Webster occasionally plagiarized and that Samuel Johnson ("Dictionary Johnson"), though no plagiarist, was often careless and inaccurate.

"MOTHER TONGUE is a book that will, like the English language itself, amuse, delight and occasionally astonish you." (Publisher’s Source)

Speak and write with greater confidence

I ave you ever sat silent in a meeting for fear of sounding unsophisticated? Have you ever had a memo or letter returned with punctuation errors circled? Don’t you wish now that you remembered more of what your grammar teacher taught you?

Fair or unfair, in business your ideas are only as good as your ability to express them. You don’t want to be embarrassed in front of your co-workers or boss. That’s why it’s so important to know — and apply — systematic grammar rules when you speak and write. Nothing adds more credibility than clear and correct communication.

In this program, communication expert Pat Cramer demystifies the often puzzling world of grammar, word usage, sentence structure and punctuation. And she does it with wit and style.

Pat will give you a renewed sense of confidence in your ability to communicate accurately and professionally in a business setting.
