El nacimiento de las lenguas, su extensión, el arraigo en un pueblo y su desaparición avanzan junto con los acontecimientos que dan forma a la Historia. Es un ciclo continuo e inmutable. En esos cambios permanentes, el ser humano ha sentido desde siempre la necesidad de ser bilingue y asi, si un viajero desea decir algo en cualquier rincon del planeta, intentara hablar el latin actual, que es el ingles; hace dos mil años ese mismo viajero intentaria expresarse en el ingles de entonces, que era el latin. Las lenguas son, pues, numerosas y diversas. Las que han influido en la humanidad muchas menos. Y otras, la mayoria, han muerto sin lapida alguna que las recuerde. Para poner luz a lo que fue, a lo que pudo haber sido y a lo que tal vez sea de la humanidad y su capacidad comunicativa, esta "Breve Historia de las lenguas" del mundo reflexiona a traves del tiempo y los pueblos, y revela los principios que han inspirado a los hablantes y sus instrumentos de comunicacion, y tambien los procedimientos mediante los cuales unas lenguas han sufrido la crueldad invasora de las vecinas, otras se han dejado morir por el desinteres de sus hablantes, y otras, muy pocas como el sumerio, egipcio, griego, arabe, español, frances e ingles, entre otras, se han alzado soberanas en largos y prosperos periodos a traves de los siglos.

In this volume, the author provides an overview of English concepts of translation into the vernacular from 1475 to 1611, the main period of the English Renaissance. The corpus consists of more than 200 documents, all of which are the front matters of translations published during this period. Almost all of these documents, which range in length from a few lines to around thirty pages of small print, are epistles dedicatory or prefaces. The Renaissance is a period in which a concerted effort was made to turn to Latin and Greek authors in order to profit from their wisdom, learning, and art. Translations for the benefit of readers who are not proficient in foreign languages form a distinct branch of these endeavors as yet hardly recognized in their true nature, extent, and historical importance, namely vernacular Christian humanism.

El libro "Consideraciones Sobre el Origen del Nombre de los Números en Tagalog" de Trinidad Pardo de Tavera es una obra fundamental en el estudio de la lengua y cultura filipina, en la que el autor explora las raices etimologicas y las variaciones linguisticas de los terminos numericos en tagalog. Con un estilo rigoroso y un enfoque etnografico, Pardo de Tavera examina como las influencias indigenas, asi como las migraciones y colonizaciones, han moldeado el lexico numerico.

Su papel activo en la reforma de las Filipinas y su compromiso con la identidad nacional sin duda lo motivaron a abordar temas como el origen de los nombres de los numeros, con el fin de reivindicar y resaltar la riqueza del idioma tagalog frente a la dominacion colonial. Recomiendo encarecidamente este libro a todos aquellos interesados en la linguistica, la cultura filipina y la historia colonial.

Divagaciones filológicas es uno de los libros más desconocidos de Baldomero Sanín Cano. Se publicó en Santiago de Chile en 1952 y jamás se volvió a editar. Hoy se encuentra agotado y es de difícil consecucion aun en las librerias de segunda. El volumen reune los estudios de Sanin Cano en el campo del lenguaje, terreno de gran tradicion entre los humanistas colombianos desde el siglo XIX. El enfoque del libro -las relaciones del lenguaje con la sociedad-examina las singularidades del español de America y sus contribuciones al desenvolvimiento general de la lengua española. Los latinoamericanos -apunto Sanin-enriquecieron el diccionario y recrearon el castellano con tonalidades muy particulares en el habla, la poesia y la prosa.La publicacion de Divagaciones filologicas hace parte del programa de la Universidad Externado de Colombia dirigido a rescatar la obra de uno de los mas notables ensayistas colombianos.
