«El nuevo dardo en la palabra» is the collection of articles by Fernando Lázaro Carreter published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (296 pages in Spanish).
Fernando Lázaro Carreter brings together short articles in which, with humour and irony, he denounces errors, improper usages and foreign words that appear in the media and in everyday speech. For Fernando Lázaro Carreter, language is a living organism forged through use, not a fossilised code; the book is also a sociological chronicle of Spain at the time.
This volume continues the series opened with «El dardo en la palabra» and brings together texts published in El País between 1999 and 2002. Fernando Lázaro Carreter directed the Real Academia Española between 1991 and 1998.
Aimed at readers interested in the proper use of Spanish, linguistic criticism and the observation of society through the media.
Fernando Lázaro Carreter was a Spanish linguist, journalist and literary critic.
