    Hagege, Claude THE LANGUAGE BUILDER. AN ESSAY ON THE HUMAN SIGNATURE IN LINGUISTIC MORPHOGENESIS General Ling John Benjamins 1993 xii, 283 pp. Lings Cloth US:1 55619 155 3/EUR:90 272 3594 5 US$75.00/Hfl. 130,-- Paper US:1 55619 157 X/EUR:90 272 3596 1 US$29.95/Hfl. 60,-- Based on a wide range of languages, this work sheds light on the human language building activity. It argues that the conscious and unconscious signature of human nature is written everywhere in language. The study of these 'signatures' gives insight into basic characteristics of human beings, tends to re-humanize linguistics, and stresses the importance of language as a dynamic activity as opposed to a self-contained system.
