Today we tear off the last page of the calendar, and with it we say goodbye to the old year 2023 (which brought us the war between Hamas and Israel, along with a hundred thousand good news, such as the publication of the Pan-Hispanic dictionary of medical terms) and we welcome the new year 2024. Good time to look back and give a quick review of what the year that now ends in our Language Laboratory gave of itself.
Here is a possible selection with twenty of the most notable entries that I have been publishing this year in the different sections of the blog:
