About this book
The Miraculous Birth of Language by Richard A. Wilson, with a notable preface by George Bernard Shaw.
Philosophical Library, New York, 1948.
Study of the origins and development of human language, writing, speech, alphabets, and communication.
The volume is especially notable for George Bernard Shaw’s influential preface discussing English spelling and alphabet reform, ideas later connected with the development of the Shavian alphabet. The University of Saskatchewan identifies Wilson’s language research and Shaw’s involvement as an important part of the work’s history.
