Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 272 numbered pages; some highlighting and notations in text; name on first free page; minor shelf wear to cover; numerous specks to edges of closed pages; light to medium wear to corners and edges of dustjacket; a few minor creases to dj; medium bump and peel to one corner of dj; a number of minor scratches/ minor dings to dj; weighs 1 pound and 2 ounces; measures 8.7 by 5.7 by .85 inches; 022323; According to popular mythology, the Internet will be bad for the future of language--technospeak will rule, standards will be lost, and creativity diminished as globalization imposes sameness. David Crystal, one of the foremost authorities on language, argues the reverse in his new book: that the Internet is enabling a dramatic expansion of the range and variety of language and is providing unprecedented opportunities for personal creativity.
