Are Some Languages Better than Others? - Dixon, R. M. W. (Adjunct Professor and Deputy Director, Adjunct Professor and Deputy Director, Language and Culture Research Centre, James Cook University)

This book sets out to answer a question that many linguists have been hesitant to ask: are some languages better than others? Written in the author's usual accessible and engaging style, the book outlines the essential and optional features of language, before concluding that the ideal language does not and probably never will exist.
