If you were to master the twenty languages discussed in Babel, you could talk with three quarters of the world's population But what makes these languages stand out amid the world's estimated 6,500 tongues? Gaston Dorren delves deep into the linguistic oddities and extraordinary stories of these diverse lingua francas, tracing their origins and their sometimes bloody rise to greatness He deciphers their bewildering array of scripts, presents the gems and gaps in their vocabularies and charts their coinages and loans He even explains how their grammars order their speakers' worldview Comb Babel - Gaston Dorren od authora Gaston Dorren a nakladatelství za skvělé ceny na e-shopu Martinuscz
