«Mal de linguas» is an essay by linguist Jesús Tusón, published by Edicións Positivas in paperback (140 pages, in Galician).
Jesús Tusón's essay denounces the prejudices that threaten linguistic diversity. The book analyzes dichotomies such as easy or difficult, refined or crude, with many or few speakers, and behind them sees human feelings: incapacity, aversion, xenophobia. Languages lack defenses and can die, taking part of the cultural memory with them.
Colección Plural, number 1. Galician translation by Xulio Sousa; cover design by Pedro De Llano.
For readers interested in linguistic diversity and the future of languages with few speakers.
