Walt Whitman (who was pretty good at language) said: “Language is not an abstract construction of the learned, or of dictionary-makers, but is something arising out of the work, needs, ties, joys, affections, and tastes of long generations of humanity, and has its bases broad and low, close to the ground.” We’ll have a look at our own language: sounds that we use in speaking, where words come from and how they change, what is meant (and sometimes not meant), colorful constructions, and more. That “close to the ground” stuff promises to be fun.
