More about the book

Exploring the intersection of history and language, this analysis delves into how historical terms and allusions shape contemporary discourse in politics, media, and public conversation. It investigates the origins and evolution of phrases like "stone age" and "Victorian," revealing how they reflect societal perceptions of the past and influence present-day narratives. By focusing on the societal use of language rather than just dictionary definitions, the work highlights the ongoing relationship between historical context and modern communication.
