The volume presents language as fully integrated with human existence. On this view, language is not essentially ‘symbolic’, not represented inside minds or brains, and most certainly not determined by micro-social rules and norms. Rather, language is part of our ecology. It emerges when bodies co-ordinate vocal and visible gesture to integrate events with different histories. Enacting feeling, expression and wordings, language permeates the collective, individual and affective life of living beings. It is a profoundly distributed, multi-centric activity that binds people together as they go about their lives.

PITMAN'S Commercial Correspondence and Commercial English
There is gratifying evidence of an awakened feeling that Commercial English has hitherto been on wrong lines, having developed a jargon of its own even worse than journalese and very distressing to every educated person whose misfortune it is to have to read letters expressed in it. The University of London must be given the credit of largely stimulating that feeling when it gave a literary character to its papers set in English for Matriculation. This change which was made some eighteen years ago, has undoubtedly borne good fruit.
