Summary

Romantic Codes uncovers the hidden languages of love used throughout history, revealing how individuals expressed affection and desire while navigating societal constraints. It explores how coded communication, a form of subterfuge, became essential, particularly during periods like the Victorian era with its strict social etiquette. The book examines diverse forms of these codes, such as floriography (the language of flowers) and secret messages embedded in art, illustrating the lengths people went to convey their feelings.

 
The study of romantic codes isn't merely a historical exploration; it's about understanding human connection. These codes offer a unique perspective on the social and emotional lives of people from the past. Beginning with the psychological underpinnings of coded communication, the book progresses chronologically, exploring various historical periods and geographical regions. Each section analyzes specific examples, their meanings, and social contexts, enriching our understanding of cultural history and language arts.

    With our earliest utterances, we announce ourselves—and are recognized—as persons ready for social life. With our final ones, we mark where others must release us to death's embrace. In Bye Bye I Love You, linguist and author Michael Erard explores these phenomena, commonly called "first words" and "last words," uncovering their cultural, historical, and biological entanglements and honoring their deep private significance. Erard draws from personal, historical, and anthropological sources to provide a sense of the breadth of beliefs and practices about these phenomena across eras, religions, and cultures around the world. 
 
 
 
What do babies' first words have in common? How do people really communicate at the end of life? In the first half of the book, Erard tells the story of first words in human development and evolution, and how the attention to children's early language—a modern phenomenon—arose. In the second half, he provides a groundbreaking overview of language at the end of life and the cultural conventions that surround it. Throughout he reveals the many parallels and asymmetries between first and last words and asks whether we might be able to use a linguistic understanding of end of life to discover what we truly want.
