«El nuevo dardo en la palabra» is the collection of articles by Fernando Lázaro Carreter on the use of Spanish (Aguilar, hardcover, 262 pages).
It brings together the articles Lázaro Carreter published in El País from 1999, after the success of «El dardo en la palabra». With erudition and irony, it warns about the careless use of Spanish and the uncritical adoption of neologisms; it analyzes vulgarisms, distinctions and confusions with examples such as «alante» for «adelante» or «humanitario» for «humano».
First edition, published on January 10, 2003. It continues the collection «El dardo en la palabra» (1997), also by Lázaro Carreter.
For speakers interested in the proper use of Spanish, linguistic criticism of the media and columns on language.
Fernando Lázaro Carreter was a Spanish linguist, journalist and literary critic.
