«Control de plagues» is the linguistic essay by Enric Gomà Ribas, published by Editorial Pòrtic in paperback (240 pages, in Catalan).
The author wittily reviews 92 words and expressions of current Catalan that he proposes to «fumigar»: calques from Spanish or English, hypercorrections, fads and deformations spread by the media. Each entry gathers quotes, equivalences, history and anecdotes, with drawings by Marc Torrent, and vindicates the natural forms of a lifetime.
Published on January 31, 2018 in Barcelona, it is part of the P.VISIONS collection of Editorial Pòrtic.
For readers interested in the Catalan language, linguistic criticism and humor.
