    <abstract id="aspace_e08aa57a2fbf32563b2ceb8b96f89837" label="Description">A hundred years of: Lex Flex considers the language of the last century, and the ways in which it changed and modified itself to adapt to the kaleidoscopic and tumultuous events of the times. The book begins with the innocent and elegant period up to the 1930s. Part Two moves through the mid-century wars, the battles for civil and human rights, and the cults of personalities. Part Three, sub-titled cyber self and Ether/Other; takes on the digital age, in Laxson's inimitable style.</abstract>
