In Other Words ReviewAs the author of In Other Words, I am grateful to Michael for his interest in my book and his reflections on language in general. My aim was to celebrate variety among nations and to see what might be learnt from our differences. My approach is therefore cultural and is not dictionary-bound. Where for instance he suggests that Arabic has a perfectly good word "tawfiq" for compromise, this may be so in narrow dictionary terms. But as one who has spent many years living in Arab countries, I can assure him that the idea of compromise does not exist culturally in the same way as it might in Britain or the United States. Similarly in Chinese, we may translate guanxi in a dictionary context as "connection" but my interest is how the social and cultural reality of being connected works in China, or say in Italy, Poland, Saudi Arabia or Spain. Each place has its own "meaning" for connectedness. Meaning arises out of culture not out of books, and language is a living and dynamic phenomenon which will not be pinned down. This is something to enjoy and explore, the very thing I have tried to do and convey to others in my book.
