Description
"A newly revised and updated version of a now classic work, this fascinating book takes a close look at the most recent developments in the study of language, from chimpanzees trained to use sign language to analyses of the social context of those complicated mutterings we take for granted. Written with a minimum of technical jargon, 'Language in Behavior' is the first scholarly attempt to incorporate within a common conceptual framework linguistically oriented approaches to human behavior."
