LA COMIDA MEXICANA I.

Questo piccolo podcast tratta della mia grande passione, la linguistica e la glottologia, e consiste in una serie di brevi episodi che trattano questi argomenti.
Lo scopo del podcast è gettare luce su un aspetto che i parlanti di qualsiasi lingua considerano molto poco, cioè sui meccanismi e sull'evoluzione delle parole che usano per comunicare.
Proprio per questo motivo la prima puntata riguarda la storia e l'evoluzione dell'articolo "il", una delle parole (monemi) più frequenti in italiano, spiegandone le origini accertate e anche alcune teorie poco conosciute.

孔融是汉朝有名的文学家，他六七岁的时候就聪明过人。许多有才学的大官出各种各样的难题考他，都没有把他难住。有一次，孔融参加了一个宴会。在宴会上，孔融机智地回答了几个人出的难题，受到在场官员的称赞。大家都说他长大后一定有出息。有一位大官见众人都捧这个六七岁的孩子，心里很不服气，便对大家说：“依我看，小时候聪明的人，长大以后不一定聪明。”孔融听了，马上接过话来，对他说：“我想，您小时候一定非常聪明。”
