“Language as culture: a critique of the discourse on language” by Enrique Bernárdez
“Neither linguistics nor, certainly, language itself are outside the sociopolitical tensions of the present. In this new book, with his usual rigor and clarity, Enrique Bernárdez reviews our concept of language and argues, against the isolationism that has characterized linguistics for decades, its connection with other facets of human existence, in particular with culture. Likewise, he analyzes the discourse on language, from the preconceived ideas and manipulations to the trivialization that is too often transmitted to us by the media and the official discourse”.
