Summary note

Nimble Tongues is a collection of essays that continues Steven G.Kellman's work in the fertile field of translingualism, focusing on the phenomenon of switching languages.A series of investigations and reflections rather than a single thesis, the collection is perhaps more akin in its aims--if not accomplishment--to George Steiner's.
