Muchas veces un texto funciona como enlace a otros temas o autores, nos despierta algo que estaba dormido. Y esto es lo que pasa en La infancia de las palabras, una recopilación de textos cortos que nos hacen reflexionar. Adriana Santa Cruz nos demuestra cómo las palabras exceden los diccionarios, ya que están conectadas con nosotros más de lo que creemos. Nos enseña sobre su etimologÃa y la construcción de sentido a partir del uso que les damos y de lo que significaban en sus orÃgenes. La etimologÃa es la arqueologÃa del lenguaje. Adriana toma una fina espátula y, con sumo cuidado, va quitando el polvo superficial hasta llegar a las raÃces que alimentan cada concepto expresado por la palabra. La selección que nos propone no fue compilada al azar. Cada término tiene un significado especial para la autora. Ese toque personal despierta con facilidad la empatÃa del lector. Se puede abrazar una causa?
Por qué se dice que cumplimos abriles cuando cumplimos años?
La pasión tiene connotación positiva o negativa?
Por qué conocer la etimologÃa de la palabra angustia nos puede ayudar a sobrellevarla? La infancia de las palabras reúne el conocimiento disperso que nos invita a escuchar lo que nos rodea, cómo suenan las palabras que usamos para comunicarnos.
Con el mismo tono amable de sus clases, Adriana nos transmite un saber que, para muchos de nosotros, serÃa de otra manera inaccesible.
Este libro te ayudará a descubrir la evolución y la belleza del lenguaje y a escuchar la música que duerme en el sonido de cada palabra.
