After a series of building problems and public protests in Brazil, the governing body of world football, Fifa, repeatedly warned there would be “no compromise” over the delivery of World Cup stadiums. But with Fifa’s endof- year deadline looming, several stadiums are well behind schedule and one host city, Cuiaba, has told the BBC that not only will it be unable to finish its stadium on time, but there are not even enough hotel rooms for visiting fans.
Even though Fifa only insisted on a minimum of eight stadiums to host the World Cup, Brazil decided to go with 12, such was the interest and demand from all parts of this huge nation to be part of the tournament. But, in hindsight, has Brazil bitten off more than it can chew? Up in the city of Manaus, they are finishing an arena that bears some resemblance to the famous Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing: an elaborate steel structure, imported from Portugal, envelops the playing area like an indigenous woven basket.

Studies of communication show that if a woman tells her husband about a problem, she will expect him to listen and offer sympathy. She may be annoyed when he simply tells her how to solve the problem. Similarly, a husband may be annoyed when his wife wants to stop and ask a stranger for directions to a park or restaurant. Unlike his wife, he would prefer to use a map and find his way by himself.

There’s an old cliché in linguistics that a language is a dialect with an army and navy behind it. This isn’t merely a joke. Defining when a new language is born is than defining when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. In the process by which a dialect becomes a language there is no easy empirical equivalent of the point when the butterfly emerges from the larva able to take off. So no linguist can look back and say: “That’s it, Wednesday 5 May 1213, that’s when the English language finally got wingss.”
