Beyond a simple collection of vocabulary, the author uses one hundred emblematic words to weave a narrative that connects language, culture, history, and personal experiences. The reader will find a work that champions the Empordà dialect as a mark of identity and a vehicle for debating universal issues, while saving from oblivion the expressions that define this land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelena Borrell offers us a linguistic and sentimental journey through the Empordà. Each selected word is a starting point for exploring themes ranging from the idiosyncrasies of its inhabitants to reflections on language and culture. The work is not limited to defining words; it contextualizes them in stories of yesterday and today, mixing personal anecdotes with philological inquiries. The goal is to reclaim a way of speaking that, despite being threatened by the interference of Spanish and the pressure of the standard language, remains a defining trait for those who live in the region. The book is organized into thematic blocks including language, humanities, memories, and local culture, offering a multifaceted view of the Empordà.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLexicon and Empordà speech as cultural heritage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVindication of the dialect in the face of linguistic interference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTerritorial identity and the idiosyncrasy of the Empordà inhabitants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between language, culture, and personal experiences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePreservation of oral memory and disused vocabulary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers interested in dialectology and the richness of spoken Catalan, especially those linked to the Empordà or the Girona regions.
