I recently received email from the folks at Wordsmith.org (who you may know from A.Word.A.Day or the Internet Anagram Server) announcing that they're hosting an online chat with linguist Guy Deutscher on August 20th at 11AM PDT. (See here for more details.) Deutscher is the author of The Unfolding of Language, a recent book about language evolution. I just received a copy in the mail—it's the book I was talking about in this post—and although I haven't finished it yet, it's interesting reading so far.
