I don't think he's talking about a linguapocalypse. In the book there's no evidence of despair. ( have you read it? ) It's just about changes and repetitive patterns.

It's me who struggles over sentences like this one; just received a little book of poetry with an acknowledgement:

"--- We believe this work is culturally important and have elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing committment to the preservation of printed works worldwide"
It just does not read well. Elected?? Elected what to bring the book back?
