Language is both a medium and a tool. Words allow us to share concepts and emotions, but language can also be used to exert power and change minds. Set in present-day Europe, Wordwarp is a fictional adventure recounting a hidden war of words: secret projects in different countries using highly evolved forms of in-vitro intelligence to build codes into our languages and propagate particular mindsets. Tim Griffon, an American journalist and occasional rock musician, is living a lazy existence in Cologne, when suddenly he's caught up in ominous mind-bending neurological experiments, conflicting love affairs, and detours along the frontier of death. As the linguistic codes battle for people's minds, Griffon sees a way to resist with his talents for nonsense and rampant rock.

The year is 1953 and Henry Saltzman, an Americanized Jew looking for his first job as a high school English teacher, unexpectedly finds himself confronting a roomful of intense, hyperactive ten-year-old boys in a Hasidic Brooklyn yeshiva. The assimilated Saltzman is profoundly challenged by their prejudices and fears about the world outside their close-knit religious community and vows to help them become not just good Jews, but good Americans.

Analysis on the Ideographic Characteristics of Some English Morphemes provides the answers to these questions through an investigation of around 900 morphemes.
