«El lujo del lenguaje» is the essay on language by Jesús Tusón, published by Paidós in paperback (104 pages, in Spanish).
The book starts from the capacity to possess languages as a trait of intelligence and social cohesion. It analyzes the tension between the unity of language as a common faculty and the diversity of languages and styles, and shows that languages serve to talk about the real world, create fictions, tell the truth or deceive, educate or induce ignorance, proposing a linguistic education that makes us free.

A popular essay for readers interested in linguistics and philosophy of language.
