TO demonstrate that a sentence could be grammatically correct but meaningless, linguist Noam Chomsky proposed the sentence "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously." But of what, we might wonder, do they dream? This book traces this language dreaming where normal grammar takes a rest. While the standard 26 letters of the English language are increasingly allowed to slumber, the lesser appreciated cousins of the alphabet, the supporting, non-phonetic (ideogrammic?) symbols, get to awaken and play.
But what mischief and grand idiocy lies that way?
