The program on Radio Nacional de España A language without bordersThe program, directed and presented by journalist Ángela Núñez, has dedicated one of its latest segments to linguistic dissemination with the participation of philologist and URJC professor Francisco Escudero Paniagua.
During the interview, broadcast on RTVE's platform, the author presented his book. You to Salamanca and me to AlexandriaThis work is designed to introduce the general public to the usefulness of grammar throughout history and across different cultures. Published by Pie de Página, the book clearly falls within the field of linguistic popularization, an area in which this publisher specializes, aiming to make the study of language accessible to readers who are not necessarily experts. Specifically, You to Salamanca and me to Alexandria It invites you to discover the surprising journey of the discipline, from the Library of Alexandria and the Roman Empire to modern classrooms and the Royal Spanish Academy.
Throughout the radio interview, Escudero insists that grammar should not be understood as knowledge exclusive to specialists, but rather as a field of study with broad social implications and a long historical tradition. The interview thus becomes an invitation to reconsider the relevance of this discipline in everyday life and in the construction of knowledge.
Far from the traditional image of grammar as a set of rigid rules, Escudero argues in his speech that this discipline has played multiple roles throughout history: it has served the faith in al-Andalus, facilitated trade between the kingdoms of Renaissance Europe, legitimized ideologies and imperial expansions, and sought the perfect language in global projects.
With this space, A language without borders It once again highlights its commitment to the dissemination of Spanish and linguistic studies, offering its audience accessible and interesting content for both specialists and the general public.
