Story
La característica más específica de nuestra especie, la que nos diferencia del resto de los animales, es la capacidad de aprender y usar lenguas, y para ello es necesario que cuente con un cerebro lleno de palabras. Desde que nos despertamos hasta que nos acostamos vivimos, convivimos y nos comunicamos a través de las palabras.

Story
Language is a wild animal: rough, ambiguous, inconsistent in countless ways. But that just makes it all the more tempting to tame it. Many have tried, from sticklers for supposedly correct grammar to inventors of supposedly perfect languages; from software engineers working on machine translation to governments that see language management as politics by another means. But when you enter the lair of a wild beast, you can be lucky to escape with your wits. Join Lane Greene on a journey of discovery into the deep strangeness of language.

Story
Would you receive a ‘char and a wad’ with a grateful smile? If asked to take a ‘dekko’, would you be offended? And if spotted reading the ‘yellow press’, would you be embarrassed?The meaning of these and many other intriguing phrases are defined, and their loss lamented, in this wonderfully nostalgic look at how language has changed over the past few decades.

L'italiano ha alle sue spalle una storia secolare, buona parte della quale è fatta da parole, forme e costrutti presenti fin dal Medioevo. Ma un'altra parte, non piccola, costituita da materiale oggi perduto, è finita nell'ampio deposito della lingua scomparsa, che questo audiolibro visita seguendo le linee linguistiche e culturali attraverso cui la selezione è avvenuta.

Story
Le idee sbagliate sono sempre pericolose, ma ne esistono due che sembrano resistere nel tempo e, se combinate, costituiscono una miscela deflagrante. Sono la convinzione che esistano lingue migliori di altre, lingue banali e lingue geniali, lingue musicali e lingue stonate, e quella che la realtà si veda in modo diverso secondo la lingua che si parla, come se potesse condizionare i nostri sensi e i nostri ragionamenti. Andrea Moro affronta questi pregiudizi, e ne scopre i limiti, con ogni arma a disposizione: dalla filosofia, alla linguistica, alle neuroscienze.

Why Chimpanzees Can't Learn Language and Only Humans Can

Story
In the 1970s, the behavioral psychologist Herbert S. Terrace led a remarkable experiment to see if a chimpanzee could be taught to use language. A young ape, named “Nim Chimpsky” in a nod to the linguist whose theories Terrace challenged, was raised by a family in New York and instructed in American Sign Language. Initially, Terrace thought that Nim could create sentences but later discovered that Nim’s teachers inadvertently cued his signing. Terrace concluded that Project Nim failed - not because Nim couldn’t create sentences but because he couldn’t even learn words.

Story
People do bad things. They misspeak, mislead, and misbehave. They lie, cheat, steal, and kill. Often, afterward, they apologize. But what makes a successful apology? Why does Joe Biden's 2007 apology for referring to Barack Obama as "articulate and bright" succeed, whereas Mel Gibson's 2006 apology for his anti-Semitic tirade fails? Naturally, the effectiveness of an apology depends on the language used, as well as the conditions under which we offer our regrets.

Story
Two days before Super Bowl XLI in 2007, the game's two opposing head coaches posed with the trophy one of them would hoist after the contest. It was a fairly unremarkable event, except that both coaches were African American - a fact that was as much of a story as the game itself. As Jeremi Duru reveals in Advancing the Ball, this unique milestone resulted from the work of a determined group of people whose struggles to expand head coaching opportunities for African Americans ultimately changed the National Football League.

Story
Slang, writes Michael Adams, is poetry on the down low, and sometimes lowdown poetry on the down low, but rarely, if ever, merely lowdown. It is the poetry of everyday speech, the people's poetry, and it deserves attention as language playing on the cusp of art. In Slang: The People's Poetry, Adams covers this perennially interesting subject in a serious but highly engaging way, illuminating the fundamental question "What is Slang" and defending slang - and all forms of nonstandard English - as integral parts of the American language.

Story
"Ciao". Una delle nostre parole più famose nel mondo origina dal veneziano sciavo, nel senso di schiavo, usato per salutare qualcuno ponendosi al suo servizio, come a dire Servo vostro! Si è affermata come saluto confidenziale tra Otto e Novecento, per poi diventare di uso generalizzato in tempi più recenti. È una parola-azione: ciao "si dice" e "si fa". La sua fortuna internazionale passa attraverso il made in ltaly, ma è debitrice anche di episodi particolari connessi a canzoni o film di successo.

Story
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.

Come sono cambiati i media, con quali meccanismi e quali stratagemmi, nell'epoca che chiamiamo "Era della Comunicazione"? 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?”.
