Source: The Conversation, December 13 2017 Swear words have many functions. They can be used for emphasis, for comedic effect, as a shared linguistic tool that strengthens social bonds and maintains relationships, or simply to cause offence and shock. They are words that can be emotionally electrifying. We can express utter horror, disdain, or just frustration through the utterance of a simple...

Dossier Swissinfo.ch, 18 ottobre 2017 «Come parlate bene l’italiano!». Un’affermazione che gli svizzeri si sentono spesso ripetere quando viaggiano all'estero, anche in Italia. Eppure non solo l’italiano è una delle quattro lingue nazionali svizzere, ma è parlato dall'8% della popolazione, ovvero da circa 660'000 persone. Una lingua viva, che spesso fatica però ad essere...
