Story0
Before grammar, stories, or history, there was pointing. Grunting. Guesswork. And somehow, from that, we built language. This isn’t a textbook. It’s the story of how humans learned to name the world, how we stitched together meaning from noise, and how the system we invented ended up running us. From cave mouths to cuneiform, slang to syntax, sacred scripts to AI chatbots, this book tells the full arc of the original human software: invented, forgotten, rediscovered, and now automated. This Is a Rock doesn’t teach you how to talk. It shows you how we figured out that we could.

يبحث هذا الكتاب تاريخَ اللغة منذ ما قبل اللغة البشريَّة حتى الانفجار الهائل لوسائل التواصل والإعلام في وقتنا الراهن. ويستهلُّ المؤلِّف حديثَـهُ بوصف طرائق تواصل الحيتان والطُّيور والحشرات والرئيسيَّات من غير البشر، مشيراً إلى أنَّ هذه السياقات الأولى صالحةٌ لتطبيق مفهوم اللغة، ثم ينتقلُ إلى الحديث عن القدرات المبكِّرة للإنسان المنتصب، وانتشار اللغات في جميع أنحاء العالم، محلِّلاً تطوُّرَ الكتابة، ومبرزاً أثـرَ ظهور علم اللغويات في القرن التَّاسع عشر في دراسة اللغات البشريَّة وفهمها. ويتابع المؤلِّف تطوُّرَ رؤية اللغويين لعلاقة اللغة بالتغيُّرات الاجتماعيَّة في منتصف القرن العشرين. وأخيراً يتطرَّق إلى تأثيرات المذياع والتلفاز والدعاية والإعلام وشبكة الإنترنت في اللغة، ويتساءل كيف تعيدُ الوسائط الإلكترونيَّـة تشكيلَ لغات العالم يومياً، وترسمُ مستقبلَها؟ مقترحاً إعادة تفسيرٍ جذريَّـةٍ للغة.

Aquí, Adrián Chávez pone su experiencia en la lingüística y en la divulgación al servicio de desenmarañar el entramado de fake news, teorías conspirativas y pseudociencias que pueblan el entorno digital, donde las certezas se multiplican como cabezas de Hidra. Estas páginas —más que un dedo acusatorio— son la pausa antes de dar clic en un titular: una exploración de qué se dice y cómo, de quién enuncia y con qué fin, de la diferencia entre malinformar y desinformar, y de cómo la posverdad se delata con la lengua.

Story0
This book examines language as both a tool for communication and a means of understanding, while never forgetting its built-in limitations. Language shapes our thinking, yes—but in doing so, it erects barriers that keep us from grasping the raw, unfiltered essence of reality. Words, with their multiple meanings and dependence on context, have a bad habit of distorting the message, turning conversation into an elaborate and bewildering game of charades.

Drie eeuwen lang spraken overal in de staten New York en New Jersey mensen de Tawl, de Amerikaanse versie van het Nederlands. Het was een overblijfsel van de tijd waarin New York nog Nieuw-Amsterdam heette en je zonder het Nederlands nergens kwam aan de oostkust van Amerika. In De Tawl gaat historicus Philip Dröge al fietsend over Amerikaanse wegen op zoek naar wat er nu nog over is van dat Nederlandstalige verleden. Het resultaat is een opmerkelijk verhaal over de Nederlandse oorsprong van woorden als 'OK' en 'dope' en over gekke rechters, slavernij, komieken en oplichters.

The Future of Language distinguishes myth from reality and superstition from scientifically based prediction as it plots out the importance of language and raises questions about its future. From the rise of artificial intelligence and speaking robots, to brain implants and computer-facilitated telepathy, language and communications expert Philip Seargeant surveys the development of new digital ‘languages’ and investigates how conventions of spoken and written language are being modified by new trends in communication.

O aparecimento da argumentação, seu uso intensivo, sua codificação fazem parte da marcha civilizatória. Ao abdicar do uso da força para empregar a persuasão, o homem se torna efetivamente humano. Todo discurso tem uma dimensão argumentativa. Alguns de forma explícita, como discursos políticos ou publicitários, enquanto outros não se apresentam como tal, como textos romanescos, didáticos ou líricos. Porém, todos são argumentativos. Apesar disso, faltavam estudos relevantes – e claros – sobre argumentação do ponto de vista discursivo.

Der gebürtige Südtiroler Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer (1790–1861) gilt als bedeutender Orientalist. Der Kleinbauernsohn (geboren in Tschötsch bei Brixen) war ein für seine Zeit liberaler Denker, der in München und Frankfurt tätig war, und noch heute als Gelehrter bekannt ist. Sein maßgebliches Werk "Fragmente aus dem Orient", 1845 erstmals erschienen, machte ihn weithin berühmt und war lange Zeit vergriffen. In ihm wird Fallmerayer als Mensch und als Wissenschaftler fassbar.

Umberto Eco osserva la stampa, la televisione, internet, interrogandosi sui linguaggi dei media, le loro strategie di manipolazione, le loro reciproche influenze, in un’ottica che vede già i vari media come sistema integrato.

Sem a linguagem não seríamos os humanos que somos. Assim, entrar nesse complexo universo é fascinante. Este audiolivro trata tanto de questões mais gerais, como “Por que falamos?”, “Como nascem as palavras?”, até das mais específicas, como “Nossa língua é machista porque usamos o masculino quando nos referimos a um conjunto de pessoas de ambos os sexos?”, “Só existe a palavra "saudade"em português mesmo? E isso quer dizer que os falantes de outras línguas não lidam com esse sentimento?”.

Fünf herrliche freie Wochen wollen sie gemeinsam verbringen, Kurt und seine Prinzessin, Lydia. Sie fahren nach Schweden, suchen sich ein einsames Plätzchen - Schloss Gripsholm. Mit Sonne, Wald, Unterkunft im Seitentrakt des Schlosses, dem See vor der Tür, und nichts, aber auch gar nichts, was sie noch an Berlin erinnern könnte. Als Karlchen, Kurts bester Freund, sich meldet, ob er nicht auch für ein paar Tage bei ihnen unterkommen könnte, da überlegen sie erst - und stimmen dann zu.
