This is a long shot, i know, but I'm looking for an essay or book along the lines of Nietszche's "On Truth and Lie in An Extra-Moral Sense" and Foucault's "A Discourse on Language" that talk a/b language as a construction,etc,etc,etc.

Any ideas?

Someone suggested Derrida on /b/, which should have been obvious to me. On /b/.

marshall mcluhan discusses language a lot, and its implications on human perception/conginition. i'd recomend 'the Gutenberg Galaxy' or "understanding media"

Chomsky - most of it. I dunno, just search a Chomsky bibliography and choose one.

MArshall McLuhan as well, if you like them 60sfags.

I'd try "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown.
Shit's deep bro.

Not having read the titles you mentioned I can't say that this is an exact match, but Hayakawa's Language in Thought and Action is a very good book. It's a linguistics book and not really philosophical, but it draws clear connections between perception and language.
