The richness of the Irish language is closely tied to the natural landscape and offers a more magical way of seeing the world. Most people associate Britain and Ireland with the English language, a vast, sprawling linguistic tree with roots in Latin, French, and German. But the inhabitants of these islands originally spoke another tongue. Look closely enough and English contains traces of the Celtic soil from which it sprung, found in words like bog, loch, cairn, and crag. Today, this heritage can be found nowhere more powerfully than in modern-day Gaelic.

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.

The now-classic Metaphors We Live By changed our understanding of metaphor and its role in language and the mind. Metaphor, authors George Lakoff and Mark Johnson explain, is a fundamental mechanism of mind, one that allows us to use what we know about our physical and social experience to provide understanding of countless other subjects. Because such metaphors structure our most basic understandings of our experience, they are "metaphors we live by"—metaphors that can shape our perceptions and actions without our ever noticing them.

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.

The last decade has seen an exponential increase in the development and adoption of language technologies, from personal assistants such as Siri and Alexa, through automatic translation, to chatbots like ChatGPT. Yet questions remain about what we stand to lose or gain when we rely on them in our everyday lives. As a non-native English speaker living in an English-speaking country, Vered Shwartz has experienced both amusing and frustrating moments using language technologies: from relying on inaccurate automatic translation, to failing to activate personal assistants with her foreign accent.

Chi parla, soprattutto se da posizioni di autorità o in contesti istituzionali, ha una pesante responsabilità: ciò che diciamo cambia i limiti di ciò che può essere detto, sposta un po' più in là i confini di ciò che viene considerato normale, assodato, legittimo. E cambiare i limiti di ciò che può essere detto cambia allo stesso tempo i limiti di ciò che può essere fatto.
