Book Details
Table of Contents
Transcribing the mystery : following the sacred path of final words
No words for it : language changes as we approach the threshold
Metaphors of the momentous : before we die, we announce a big event
I leave you with these words : travel metaphors speak of a coming voyage
Repetition, repetition, repetition : intensified language in our last days
Nonsense or a new sense? : unintelligible language at end of life
Words between the worlds : descriptions of visions and visitations before dying
Lullabies and good-byes : is our first and final language unspoken?
I'll call you when I get there : after-death communication.
