«Una imatge no val més que mil paraules» is the linguistics essay by Jesús Tuson Valls, published by Empúries in paperback (112 pages, in Catalan).
The essay denies the cliché that a picture is worth a thousand words to dismantle clichés about languages. It reviews naive myths, such as that the mother tongue is the easiest, and neoliberal myths, such as that some languages have become obsolete or that state multilingualism is expensive. It does so with a clear, rigorous style and without technicalities.
It is part of the Biblioteca Universal Empúries collection, number 152. It won the Premi de la Crítica dels Escriptors Valencians 2002 in the essay category.
Recommended for secondary school students and for readers who want to get started in linguistics.
