English is the richest language in the world, but where do our words
come from? We have borrowed many foreign words – where from and
why? Words are very important to us, but why do they cause such
strong reactions? Why are some words forbidden? Why are some
words more ‘respectable’ than others? Why do we have regional
dialects? Illustrated with many examples we will look at the origins and
history of our native language.
