C'est en linguiste de terrain que Claude Hagège a abordé le champ des langues. Son intérêt pour leur réalité vécue, leur chair vive et le terreau d'origine de la parole humaine en font un adepte d'une approche empirico-inductive, aboutissant ainsi à des conclusions d'ordre général à partir d'une matière concrète.

Sì, si dice "supercàzzora" e non "supercàzzola". Rigorosamente con la R e non con la L. Questo è assodato, dimostrato, dimostrabile, granitico, inamovibile e definitivo e costituisce una delle poche, pochissime certezze della vita. Tutto il resto è pura illusione.

Imagínate tener la capacidad de saber que piensan las personas con las que te relacionas sin necesidad de que te lo digan, saber si te están mintiendo, conocer sus verdaderas intenciones, si le gustas o no a alguien, si le caes bien o mal e incluso anticipar lo que alguien está a punto de hacer. Por increíble que pueda parecer, estas y muchas otras cosas se pueden lograr si sabes leer e interpretar el lenguaje no verbal de las personas.

The term narcissism started about 2000 years ago when Ovid wrote the Myth of the Narcissus, which tells the story of Narcissus, a beautiful Greek hunter who one day looks and loves his reflection in a water pool. He has his own appearance obsessed and can not leave his reflection until he dies. The concept of narcissism was first suggested by the famous psychoanalyst.

When a handsome young man begins to court Catherine Sloper, she feels she is very lucky. She is a quiet, gentle girl, but neither beautiful nor clever; no one had ever admired her before, or come to the front parlour of her home in Washington Square to whisper soft words of love to her. But in New York in the 1840s young ladies are not free to marry where they please. Catherine must have her father’s permission, and Dr Sloper is a rich man.

We soon find that he has left a trail of ruined protégés in his wake. It is a chilling tale with an unusual twist.
