I’m just home from the delightful CIBER conference on language and business, where I gave the keynote. Chapel Hill, where I had only ever been when visiting colleges as a high-schooler, was charming.
Also with the language hat on, I reviewed Daniel Everett’s Language: The Cultural Tool for last week’s issue of The Economist. Tom Bartlett’s nice long roundup of the controversy over language and the mind, in the Chronicle of Higher Education, is also well worth your time.
