«Les 10 mots latins qui racontent notre monde» is the linguistic essay by Nicola Gardini (Editions de Fallois, paperback, 248 pages, in French).
Nicola Gardini traces the evolution of ten Latin words —ars, signum, modus, stilus, volvo, memoria, virtus, claritas, spiritus and rete— from Rome to the Romance languages. In doing so, he shows that Latin is not a dead language: it remains present in everyday vocabulary, in thought and in institutions.
Translation by François Livi. Series FALL.LITTERAT. Published on 23 October 2019.
For lovers of linguistics and classical culture who want to recognise Latin in everyday vocabulary.
