Everyone likes to think they know a bit about language: There are some words that you simply can't translate into English. The origin of a word tells you how it should be used. A dialect is inferior to a language. The problem is, none of these statements are true. In Don't Believe a Word, linguist David Shariatmadari explodes nine common myths about language and introduces us to some of the fundamental insights of modern linguistics.

¿De dónde diablos salió la ñ? ¿Hablaba Lope de Vega japonés? ¿"Yerno" viene de "infierno"? ¿Qué tienen en común el maestro Yoda y el Marqués de Santillana? ¿Sabías que en la Edad Media se abreviaba mucho + q hoy? Una lengua muy muy larga contiene más de cien historias para leer de un tirón o poco a poco, en orden o en desorden, que constituyen la forma más divertida de acercarse al pasado y presente del español, una lengua tan larga en el tiempo como ancha en el espacio que hoy hablan más de 500 millones de personas en el mundo.

As language evolves faster than ever before, what is the future of 'correct' style? With wry cleverness and an uncanny intuition for the possibilities of Internet-age expressiveness, Favilla argues that rather than try to preserve the sanctity of the written language as laid out by Strunk and White, we should be concerned with the larger issues of clarity, flexibility, playfulness and political awareness. Her approach to the new rules - as practical as they are fun - will fascinate and delight believers and naysayers alike.

With the invention of printing, reading books moved from being an act performed only by priests and aristocrats into an individual, even private activity. This change helped spark the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution - in which punctuation played a crucial role. As long as texts were read out loud by only an educated elite there was no need for punctuation to mark pauses, full stops or questions.
