The Life Of Words

The life of words.





Some time ago some people arguing that the words have their own life, born to live an uncertain fate as us. I guess it's a metaphor to better explain the change over the years is having its meaning, pronunciation and spelling. Those who say so do not tolerate any obstacle or limit the exercise of freedom of thought, spoken or written. They argue that if they accept the brake must do so with other abuses, they know they frown and severity may become more intimate advances demands that once supported rob the fineness of our spirit, spoiling the pretext of respect for the canon.

Others are at odds and struggle with the language of the street trying to establish its full control. To them the words have a form and immutable substance, which must be observed and practiced with absolute rigor.

Most times I am with some, and others with very few others.

The first, and bred liberal, move with the speed of subatomic particles coming to win the creation of new words, in the case of Fritz Jahr German who invented the word bioethics.

I mention Jahr, a Protestant theologian, philosopher and educator, his formidable German-bio-Ethik neologism, language of origin, and contains significant power, which might keep you alive for how long.

At the opposite end is often the case that some words and the precious cargo that move ideas come to grow old and die. Spectral, spend a long time until the writers come and giving rise to life again carefully and burnish them aware of what happened while they were dead, and seek to prevent a return to the circulation where they are taken by rare words.

For many, the writers are responsible for maintaining the crucible glow they are born, live and relive the words. The language of the street provides a great distraction with energy, vigor and extraordinary narrative power, always in need of expressing symbolically to the social conflict which becomes part of the overflow marginality and isolation that exists in urban societies.



Sooner or later the writer is compelled to intervene in the conflict between the vernacular and the language of the street, their transit through the territory will test the clarity of their words by registering the live segment of the private history of nations.
