Description

We're joined by Christopher Hylland, author of Tears at La Bombonera and Dame Bola, to talk about the language and dialogue of footballusing Argentina as a case study.

The way we interact with people often uses words, phrases and metaphors from football. In Argentina, this phenomenon has transcended language and become part of Argentine cultural heritage.
