Things to consider when talking about language

Buchcover: Christian Braun. Über Sprache

New publication from Graz University Library Publishing

Why do we need language? Is human language unique? And, if so, what makes it so different from the languages of other living creatures?

Christian Braun is a linguist at the University of Graz who has been studying the phenomenon of language for many years. He will be presenting his reflections and findings in several thematically organised volumes. The first part of this initial volume looks at how language relates to the world in general. The second part deals with the evolution of language. A must-have for professionals, students and language enthusiasts!

The volume has now been published by Graz University Library Publishing and is available for download free of charge.

Are you interested in publishing your own research results with Graz University Library Publishing? In terms of content, we accept both science-to-science and science-to-public oriented publications produced by the various University of Graz research areas on topics of socio-political relevance to the present and future. We attach great importance to quality control in both form and content during the publication process in order to meet international standards. For further information, please visit our website or contact us at ub.publikationsservices(at)uni-graz.at. We are looking forward to working with you on your project!
