A Critical Analysis on the Future of Languages
On 14 September 2026, OCCC (Centre Cultural Octubre) in Valencia presents the book «Les llengües de demà: entre el negoci i els algoritmes» by Toni Mollà, published by Edicions Bromera.

The event will begin at 19:00 with a monologue performance by Fernando, followed by a debate featuring:
- Toni Mollà, the book’s author and sociologist specialising in languages.
- Vicent Pitarch, member of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans.
- Martí Domínguez, professor at the Universitat de València and researcher at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans.
- Susanna Lliberós, editor at Bromera, who will introduce the event.
- Juli Peretó, coordinator of Espai Ciència, as moderator.
Book Content
«Les llengües de demà» combines critical essay, academic research, and personal memoir to analyse how algorithms and business models are redefining language use. Mollà challenges traditional systems of thought and proposes alternatives for intervention in sociocultural, economic, and political spheres, aiming to preserve linguistic diversity in the digital age.
The book is aimed at readers interested in linguistics, sociology, and technology, as well as those seeking to understand how languages can adapt to a constantly evolving future.
Admission is free and no prior registration is required. [Check OCCC’s venue details here].
