The Architect of Modern Catalan
Pompeu Fabra (1868-1948) is renowned as the person who reformed and codified modern Catalan, giving it the condition of a normativised language of culture that proved fit to meet all the challenges of the twentieth century. The context in which he worked was defined by the ideology and momentum of a dynamic Catalan nationalism emerging out of the nineteenth-century cultural revival movement, energies which have continued to affect politics in the Spanish state through to the present.

Lexicografia
La lexicografia té una llarga història. Ha evolucionat amb el temps de manera paral·lela al concepte de diccionari, però no és fins als darrers decennis que s'ha produït una reflexió profunda sobre els seus objectius i sobre els seus mètodes, fins al punt que podem parlar d'una veritable revolució en aquest camp. L'extraordinari desenvolupament de les tècniques informàtiques ha tingut una repercussió notable en la renovació metodològica: la utilització dels ordinadors i de les grans bases de dades permet el tractament adequat i sistemàtic de l'enorme quantitat d'informació que entra en joc a l'hora d'elaborar un diccionari. L'objectiu general d'aquest llibre és familiaritzar el lector amb els principals aspectes relacionats amb la lexicografia i amb el diccionari, passant de veure inicialment el diccionari com un instrument pràctic de consulta a veure'l com un objecte d'anàlisi i de reflexió.

Manual of Catalan Linguistics
This manual is intended to fill a gap in the area of Romance studies. There is no introduction available so far that broadly covers the field of Catalan linguistics, neither in Catalan nor in any other language. The work deals with the language spoken in Catalonia and Andorra, the Balearic Islands, the region of Valencia, Northern Catalonia and the town of l'Alguer in Sardinia. Besides introducing the ideologies of language and nation and the history of Catalan linguistics, the manual is divided into separate parts embracing the description – grammar, lexicon, variation and varieties – and the history of the language since the early medieval period to the present day. It also covers its current social and political situation in the new local and global contexts. The main emphasis is placed on modern Catalan. The manual is designed as a companion for students of Catalan, while also introducing specialists of other languages into this field, in particular scholars of Romance languages.
