Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the use of the language carried out by Juan Luis Vives. Due to the wide range of topics Vives dealt with, he has had a strong influence on different specialities like the philology. For Vives, the philological approach and the teaching of languages don´t only have to take into account the language from a theoretical point of view, but also from a socio-cultural perspective. His great interest in languages moved him to pay attention on trying to find the real meaning of the original works in Latin and also in Greek. It also moved him to write introductory essays to them. By writing introductions and doing his interpretations, he communicated his own opinion about how to translate them.
