The language game

This volume is a tribute to Donald C. Laycock, a renowned linguist and scholar.

Edited by Tom Dutton, Malcolm Ross, and Darrell Tryon, it includes contributions from several scholars in the fields of linguistics, folklore, and cultural studies.

The book reflects Laycock's diverse interests, including language learning, folklore, bawdry, and the history and sociology of games, magic, and the occult.
