Story
Chi può definirsi grammamante? Chi ama la lingua in modo non violento, la studia e così comprende di doverla lasciare libera di mutare a seconda delle evoluzioni della società, cioè degli usi che le persone ne fanno ogni giorno parlando. Essere grammarnazi significa difendere la lingua chiudendosi dentro a una fortezza di certezze tanto monolitiche quanto quasi sempre esili; chi decide di abbracciare la filosofia grammamante, invece, non ha paura di abbandonare il linguapiattismo, ossia la convinzione che le parole che usiamo siano sacre, immobili e immutabili.

Story
The English alphabet is a tool that we've inherited down the centuries from ancient creators around the world. The alphabet hasn't always had its present form, but rather has undergone all sorts of changes and evolutions to suit the needs of the time. Did you know that five English letters come from a single graphic grandparent? Or that we may know the specific person who invented the letter G? Do you know why Z is the sixth letter for the Greeks, yet the last for us? Or why Q needs to be followed by U?

Story
М.В. Ломоносов писал, что русский язык сочетает великолепие испанского, живость французского, крепость немецкого, нежность итальянского, а сверх того богатство и сильную в изображениях краткость греческого и латинского языков. Но насколько точно мы понимаем то, что стоит за текстами, которые мы читаем или слышим? Насколько мы умеем выражать свои мысли? Пользуемся ли русским языком во всей полноте, не только соблюдая формальные правила орфографии и орфоэпии? И "правильно" ли мы обозначаем действительность, выбирая слова, когда мы пишем и говорим?

Story
Una brújula para la era del pensamiento único, las teorías conspirativas y la acritud política en un mundo polarizado. La retórica, como análisis crítico y constructivo del discurso social, es un aprendizaje imprescindible para el respeto, la convivencia y la neutralización de los conflictos en nuestra sociedad, donde campan fake news y haters, con discursos parciales e irreflexivos. David Pujante reivindica y actualiza esta disciplina milenaria, mostrando el proceso de su desatención y las razones de su actual auge en nuestra sociedad mediática.

En el lenguaje actual de las mujeres nombrar es poder, por eso esta obra propone palabras y situaciones cercanas a las mujeres, pero jamás exclusivas porque, como el lenguaje, este es un libro plural, cualquier persona interesada en el debate de por qué y cómo se expresan, es bienvenida a estas páginas. La autora se ocupa fundamentalmente de palabras, pero también de anécdotas, de casos reales, recuerdos, entrevistas, reflexiones, datos, estadísticas, referentes históricos y actuales; lugares, instituciones, consignas, canciones, lemas… pues cuando se trata de palabras todo suma.

Story
Leksykon „Do domu!!!”, autorstwa profesora Jerzego Bralczyka, to kolejny po „Jeść!!!” i „W drogę!!!” przewodnik po słowach i ich znaczeniach. Znany i lubiany językoznawca zaprasza do domu na niezwykle pouczający i zarazem dowcipny spacer po pomieszczeniach, okraszony wieloma powiedzonkami i cytatami z klasyki polskiej literatury. Czytelnicy zwiedzą salon, kuchnię i jadalnię, ale też alkowę i buduar, zajrzą do spiżarni i lodówki, ocenią, co jest bardziej wygodne: kanapa, tapczan czy wersalka, będą podziwiać żyrandole i etażerki, a na koniec wyjdą na balkon, a może taras lub werandę – z pewnością jednak nie będą się snuli z kąta w kąt.

Story
„W drogę!!!” to kolejny po „Jeść!!!” bogato ilustrowany, tematyczny leksykon profesora Jerzego Bralczyka. Tym razem przedmiotem rozważań autora są słowa związane z podróżowaniem, drogą, wędrowaniem. Każde z haseł to osobny, pełen humoru i imponującej erudycji felieton. Profesor Bralczyk pisze o pochodzeniu wybranych przez siebie słów, ich zmieniających się przez lata znaczeniach, zaskakujących kontekstach w jakich bywają używane i skojarzeniach jakie budzą. Ten słownik wciąga jak pasjonująca powieść.

Story
Wyjątkowy leksykon w którym znany i lubiany językoznawca, prof. Jerzy Bralczyk, omówił sto osiemdziesiąt jeden „smacznych słów”. Są to w większości nazwy apetycznie brzmiących potraw, pozostałe służą jedzeniu lub się z nim kojarzą. Nie jest to jednak przewodnik kulinarny sensu stricto, ponieważ autor przede wszystkim delektuje się nie samym smakiem jedzenia, lecz słowami, ich brzmieniem, urodą i funkcją.

La puntuación es un sistema de convenciones que otorga mayor precisión y profundidad a las letras y palabras, dotándolas de color y emoción, tono y ritmo. De hecho, tiene consecuencias aún más drásticas: los signos de puntuación no son únicamente una parte importante de nuestro código idiomático, sino que se transformaron nada menos que en una de las fuerzas impulsoras en el desarrollo de toda nuestra civilización occidental.

What do we talk about when we talk about Irish? When we talk about saving or supporting a language do we mean the musical combination of syllables, or something more profound? How do new words enter a language, and what is the relationship between that strange dialect called Hiberno-English and its parent language? "Craic Baby" picks up exactly where "Motherfoclóir" left off and explores the very new and very old parts of the Irish language from a personal perspective.

Story
All food has a story, reaching as far back into history as language itself. As languages followed and reflected the tides of civilizations, food language came to represent some of the highs and lows of how humans communicate: from the highbrow 'Chateauneuf du Pape: (the Pope's new castle)' to the 'nun's farts' of Jamaica (also known as 'beignets'). Chock full of food puns, linguistic did-you-knows and delectable trivia, this is the surprising and hilarious history of food, told through the lens of the fascinating evolution of language.
