The Language Machine is fairly heavily AI, cog sci, philosophy-based. Luckily for me I got all that. It was the linguistics that I lacked. The Language-Makers is heavier on the linguistics but is a more historical critique than a technical critique. But then I have no doubt that you can hang with both. Maybe read the epilogue and then switch and then switch back. Whatever works for you. :) Jenn, I might suggest you read The Language-Makers before The Language Machine, depending….
