Story
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.

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.

Story
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.

Story
Why do we love to swear so much? Why do we get so offended when others do it? In this lively and amusing exploration of the various puzzles that surround swearing, philosopher Rebecca Roache argues that what makes swearing offensive is not really the words at all: the offensiveness lies in what we don't say. The unspoken—and usually unconscious—inferences that speakers and listeners make about each other are key to explaining swearwords' capacity to shock.

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.

Story
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.

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?”.

Story
Spoken by a quarter of the world's population, English is today's lingua franca—its common tongue. The language of business, popular media, and international politics, English has become commodified for its economic value and increasingly detached from any particular nation. This meteoric "rise of English" has many obvious benefits, but very real downsides as well. In The Rise of English, Rosemary Salomone offers a commanding view of the unprecedented spread of English and the far-reaching effects it has on global and local politics, economics, media, education, and business.

Story
Impassioned, insightful, electric, Manorism is a poetic examination of the lives of Black British men and boys: propped up and hemmed in by contemporary masculinity, deepened by family, misrepresented in the media, and complicated by the riches, and the costs, of belonging and inheritance. It is also an exploration of the differences of impunity afforded to white and Black people, and to white and Black artists.

"Appartengo a quella parte dell'umanità che passa gran parte delle sue ore di veglia in un mondo fatto di righe orizzontali: un mondo che può essere molto ricco, magari ancor più ricco di quello non scritto, ma che comunque richiede un aggiustamento speciale per situarsi al suo interno. Quando mi stacco dal mondo scritto per ritrovare il mio posto nell'altro, in quello che usiamo chiamare il mondo, fatto di tre dimensioni, cinque sensi, popolato da miliardi di nostri simili, questo equivale per me ogni volta a ripetere il trauma della nascita."
