Its contributions specialize in the subsequent questions: (i) In how a long way can grammaticalization be thought of a common diachronic strategy or mechanism of switch and in how a long way is it conditioned through synchronic elements? (ii) what's the function of the speaker in grammaticalization? (iii) Does grammaticalization itself supply a reason for swap or is it an epiphenomenon, i.e. a conglomeration of causal factors/mechanisms which somewhere else happen independently? (iv) whether it is epiphenominal, how can we clarify that comparable pathways so usually take place in recognized circumstances of grammaticalization? (v) Is grammaticalization unidirectional?

L. a. ocasión los angeles pintan calva, Quedarse de piedra, Aunque l. a. mona se vista de seda, Roma no paga a los traidores, Andar con cien ojos, Zapatero a tus zapatos… Por más que haya quien se empeñe en que los clásicos brillen por su ausencia en los planes de estudio, su presencia entre nosotros es tan persistente que muchas veces ni siquiera somos conscientes de ella. Esta obra pretende romper una lanza en su desire, para que el lector tome conciencia de los angeles importancia y l. a. repercusión que las civilizaciones griega y romana han tenido y siguen teniendo en nuestros días.

 Si con Peccata minuta pudimos comprobar el gran número de latinismos que pueblan nuestra lengua, en esta ocasión los mismos autores intentan demostrar que un buen número de frases hechas y expresiones que usamos con mucha frecuencia encuentran su origen o su explicación en realidades históricas, culturales literarias o mitológicas de l. a. Antigüedad clásica.

Por ello, se recopilan un ramillete de frases, escogidas con criterios como su frecuencia en nuestra lengua o el uso erróneo que se hace de algunas de ellas y las acompañan de un ameno e instructivo recorrido cultural por el mundo clásico.
