What an informative review! It is interesting that the author connects science and mathematics with epistemology and linguistics. I never really thought of them interacting. Thank you for your recommendation.

Linguistics is a broad but fascinating discipline. Thanks for stopping by Raluca.

Oh yes yes he does explore colloquialism also, Thanks for taking the time to read the review Theana :tiphat:
