«El paraíso políglota» is Juan Ramón Lodares's essay on the languages of modern Spain, published by Taurus in paperback, 296 pages.
It covers two centuries of Spain to explain the spread of Spanish and rejects that it was imposed by power: the expansion of the language responded to the need for speakers of different languages to understand each other. It also reviews the heroic narratives of the country's languages and linguistic standardizations as political use.
It belongs to the Taurus Lenguaje collection. It was published in 2000; the edition has flaps and includes bibliographic references.
For readers interested in history and linguistics, and in the debate on the languages of Spain.
