Krátky popis
A history of the world told through the prism of language, from
Shakespeare to Anne Frank, Martin Luther King to Greta Thunberg. A
History of Words for Children explores the uniquely human ability
to transfer thoughts from one brain to another using words. Written
in a lively narrative style, the book presents a history of the
world and human development through the prism of language,
introducing readers to the civilisations, inventions and wordsmiths
who have shaped the way we communicate.Divided into themed
chapters, the book explores what words are and how humans
communicate using spoken language and sign, the development of
written scripts and writing implements, including paper, the
history of manuscripts and printed books, including worldwide
bestsellers and famous libraries, the process of learning another
language, dialects and accents and the way language can reflect our
identity, the power of words to calm, inspire, rally crowds and
rule nations, graffiti's role in spreading messages, codes and
invented languages, the patterns of poetry, the future of words,
including emojis, and languages facing extinction.
