«Paraula viva contra llengua normativa» is Ivan Tubau's essay on spontaneous Catalan in audiovisual media, published by Laertes editorial, S.A. in paperback (110 pages, in Catalan).
The book analyzes how interviewers and interviewees actually speak in Catalonia's audiovisual media and to what extent that language deviates from the standard. Based on the televised language of 26 public figures and a survey on twelve cases of divergence answered by journalists, broadcasters, linguists, and teachers, the author argues for the need to reform the standard established by Pompeu Fabra.
