«The Language Web» is the linguistics essay by Jean Aitchison, published by Cambridge University Press in paperback (156 pages, in English).
Jean Aitchison describes language as a vast spider's web to explore its biological nature, child acquisition, and the ability to handle thousands of words. The text comes from the 1996 BBC Reith Lectures and examines common concerns about language, some well-founded, though not as usually assumed.
The work belongs to the series The BBC Reith Lectures, in its 1996 edition. This edition includes illustrations, bibliographic references, notes, and an epilogue on the reception of the lectures.
For linguistics students and the general public interested in the philosophy of language.
