Illustrating the Production and Comprehension of Language

Two of my favorite language-related illustrations.

From the book Shapes for sounds by Timothy Donaldson, via brain pickings.




From an article in The Economist, illustration by W. Vasconcelos.

I think the illustrations complement each other quite nicely. My compliments to the artists.

These are great images! I've never seen anything like the phenome head before. I also like how the mini-vocab lesson is relevant and unobtrusive.
