«Diálogo de la lengua» is the linguistic essay by Juan de Valdés, published by Orbis in 1988 in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
The work recreates a conversation among friends in which Valdés sets out his ideas about Spanish: how it was formed, how it should be spoken and written, and which literary models should be followed. Against affectation and Latinism, he defends clarity, simplicity and naturalness, with numerous examples and observations on everyday and cultured language.
The cover indicates the «Clásicos Castellanos» collection and the edition by Juan M. Lope Blanch.
For students of literature and for readers interested in the history of Spanish and in debates on the proper use of the language.
