180 texts by Professor G. Babiniotis are gathered in this book, essentially forming a 'linguistic legacy' for those who love language from a scientist who has been engaged for over 40 years in the research, study, and teaching of language, particularly Greek.

The texts are categorized into 13 sections:

1. Basic concepts of understanding language
2. Aspects of the history of the Greek language
3. Linguists
4. Education of speech: Teaching language in school
5. The world of words
6. Grammar and syntax: The mechanism of language
7. Linguistic diversity: Native, second, and foreign languages
8. The quality of language
9. Language and literature
10. Language and politics
11. Language and religious tradition
12. Writing and spelling
13. Etymology: The gateway to the charm of language

These texts by Professor G. Babiniotis have 'wandered' over time, most originally published in the welcoming 'Vima of Sunday', several in his book 'Reflections on language and our language' (published by Kastaniotis, 2010), and others in various other sometimes challenging venues, as well as a few appearing here for the first time, all found together in this book, all 180! 'He felt it', as the author says, 'as a need, his own and that of those who love our language.'

Some indicative issues that will attract the reader:

• What are the three basic levels of language?
• What constitutes quality and aesthetics in language and communication?
• The dictionary and grammar in language teaching
• Is historical spelling necessary?
• Etymology as the history of words
• Multilingualism and linguistic diversity
• What is the state of the Greek language at the beginning of the 21st century?

Whoever loves language and wants to know it in its essence, from more angles and in greater depth, whoever wants to enter the 'magical' world of language and the paths of linguistics without prerequisite knowledge, will better appreciate the texts and the purpose of this book.
