Le smartphone de l’antiquité
Des objets qui ont changé notre quotidien, on pourrait tous en citer des dizaines. L’ordinateur, l’ampoule électrique, les lunettes, le handspinner… Mais qui aurait nommé un objet antique de poche capable de donner l’heure, mesurer des hauteurs, générer une carte des étoiles ?
Pour Patrick (Axolot), c’est justement l’occasion de déterrer un petit bijou que nos mémoires ont effacé. L’astrolabe, véritable prouesse technologique pour son époque, était un outil qui n’aurait rien à envier à nos actuels smartphones. Alors, d’accord, c’est compliqué de jouer à Clash Royale avec un astrolabe mais les fonctionnalités et la beauté de l’instrument en font une curiosité incontournable pour Patrick.
Language is a living entity, constantly evolving and adapting to the needs of its speakers. "Linguisticae" invites you into this fascinating world, shedding light on the origins of countless words and phrases that might have puzzled you. If you've ever found yourself wondering about an unusual expression or the etymology of a curious word, this is the show for you!
The series currently boasts over 200 episodes, each crafted to unravel a different aspect of language. From expressions like "jour ouvrable" to verbs such as "se pavaner", every episode takes viewers on an educational adventure into linguistics. Each inquiry is not only informative but also peppered with humor and relatable anecdotes, making learning about language entertaining and accessible.
In its first season, "Linguisticae" tackles questions that many might find themselves asking in everyday life. For instance, Episode 1 dives into whether one can describe a bottle as "ouvrable" while exploring concepts related to geometry in non-Euclidean spaces—though it playfully admits that it won't be providing answers about triangles! Such curiosity-driven content encourages viewers to engage more deeply with their use of language while appreciating its complexities.
