RE: A coming off age story

I find language fascinating, although I'm no expert. These columns are enlightening. We get the New European each week and it's generally educational about other cultures we might not hear about otherwise. Same with the New Internationalist magazine.

Language is fascinating. To me, not a professional, the most important points of interest is the music of language, the way anybody can use rhythm and tone making saying the most everyday things into melodies. And then the strange relationship to images. A word can create colours, vivid pictures and movement without being in anyway precise. Only a single word can do this - Bliss, carnage, Mississippi. And thank you for the link. All of these articles seems interesting!
