    Don't Believe a Word - The Surprising Truth About Language
    Think you know language? Think again. * There are languages that change when your mother-in-law is present. * The language you speak could make you more prone to accidents. * Swear words are produced in a special part of your brain. Over the past few decades, we have reached new frontiers of linguistic knowledge. Linguists can now explain how and why language changes, describe its structures, and map its activity in the brain. But despite these advances, much of what people believe about language is based on folklore, instinct, or hearsay. We imagine a word's origin is it's "true" meaning, that foreign languages are full of "untranslatable" words, or that grammatical mistakes undermine English. In Don't Believe A Word, linguist David Shariatmadari takes us on a mind-boggling journey through the science of language, urging us to abandon our prejudices in a bid to uncover the (far more interesting) truth about what we do with words. Exploding nine widely held myths about language while introducing us to some of the fundamental insights of modern linguistics, Shariatmadari is an energetic guide to the beauty and quirkiness of humanity's greatest achievement.

    The Warlizard Chronicles: Adventures with Vodka, Women, & War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 312min
    My new fiancée Betty and I were sitting on the couch watching the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, when she looked over at me and casually said, "My first orgasm came from a dog." As I sat there stunned, trying to control my reactions and collect myself, I had two immediate thoughts: 1. Now I know why my dog likes her better. 2. I wish this was the worst thing she'd ever told me. About the audiobook: In The Warlizard Chronicles, Warlizard tells the tales of a misspent youth, from the story of his "dog-gasmic" ex-fiancée to the logic of serving as a German linguist in Iraq. The stories are light, fast-paced, graphic, and not remotely safe for work. You have been warned. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Machado.
