Con la lengua fuera

Between 2016 and 2019, Álex Grijelmo published in As a series of articles on the Spanish language in sport that can now be enjoyed by all readers interested in the language and its treatment in the media. In them the author shows how the vocabulary used by athletes, commentators and journalists moves between tradition, innovation and foreign language, and the incorrect uses that impoverish the language or deprive it of efficacy and beauty. But he also recognizes lexical findings, brilliant metaphors and memorable phrases. In this book there are proposals for improving the style along with praise for accurate contributions. They talk about football, basketball, handball, boxing, tennis, motor sports... But above all, they talk about the Spanish language. A subject that gives a lot of play.
