Bon dia!

The blog has been ispired by Nicholas Ostler's work ("Empires of the Word" and "The last lingua franca"). He gives insight on the evolution of languages. I find particularly interesting his thoughts on the limits of expansions of english language, as well as the chances of survival of other languages (that get a critical mass of effective use) It will be devoted to gaming resources available in Catalan (my modest contribution to reaching critical mass!) and it is written in Catalan. Following it should almost be no problem to anyone able to read a couple of other latin languages. ------------------------------------------------------ Un bon dia passat pel carrer Ferran de Barcelona vaig ensopegar amb un llibre apassionant sobre la història de les llengües: "Empires of the Word" de Nicholas Ostler. Fa poques setmanes vaig llegir una ressenya a The Economist d'un nou llibre del Sr. Ostler ("The last lingua franca"), que em va posar les piles. En trec que el futur de les llengues encara està obert i depen bàsicament del valor d'ús efectiu que s'en faci. Així, aparcaré periòdicament l'anglès al BGG i m'hi poso!
