|author=Rodrigo Hasbun and Sophie Hughes (translator)
|summary= Clichéd as it may sound, language finds itself at the very core of human existence and experience. On the one hand, it defines individual cognition and thoughts and serves as a way of communicating these thoughts to others; on the other, it defines the social sphere, giving social values to things, reflecting history, and constructing a common identity. It is also what William Thacker's second novel, ''Lingua Franca'', revolves around.
