Citez-moi un animal en voie de disparition !
Certes, vous avez l’embarras du choix. Peut-être avez-vous pensé au panda ou au tigre. Ces beaux et majestueux animaux à la fourrure faisant plus penser à une œuvre d’art qu’une véritable partie du corps.
Oui, d’accord, très bien. Mais pouvez-vous me citer un animal affreusement moche qui est en train de s’éteindre ? Non ? Et pourtant, Léa (Zeste de Science) va nous montrer que de nombreuses espèces sont victime d’une véritable injustice. Parce qu’elles sont moins agréables à l’œil, on ne les étudie pas et on les laisse s’éteindre dans l’indifférence la plus totale.
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.
