«El genio del idioma» is Álex Grijelmo's essay on the Spanish language, published by Taurus in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
The essay explores the «internal genius» of Spanish: the hidden logic that makes some words sound native and others foreign. With examples from German, English, Italian or Basque and invented terms, Grijelmo examines the language's affinities and rejections, its historical patterns, its quirks and its possible evolution.
This work belongs to the Taurus Pensamiento collection and was originally published in 2004. The edition is paperback with flaps.
Aimed at readers interested in the Spanish language, linguistics and language analysis; suitable for young people aged 16 and over.
