Linguistic Problem

In this paper, we try to give a different perspective to the one that has been studied and offered in linguistics until now. Language starts as the main form of oral communication that is transmitted from generation to generation. Language is in constant evolution. One of the greatest evolutions in the linguistic field has been precisely writing. It represented perfectly the union of graphic ideas and concepts with the beginning of the religious beliefs. We also try to analyze which are the causes and consequences of interventionism in something as personal and private as language. We will try to demonstrate how socialism, even in linguistics, distorts the correct evolution of lan guage, remembering the Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights (1996) whose consequence is the strengthening of various nationalisms around the world. Finally, conclusions and solutions will be given to a very specific linguistic problem: Spain. Key words: Socialism, planification, spontaneous order, evolution, linguistics, language, pidgin, nationalism, economy, institution. JEL Classification: A1 (General Economics) → A12 (Relation of Economics to other Disciplines). Resumen: Este artículo pretende abordar una perspectiva diferente a la que se viene estudiando y ofreciendo en lingüística, pues el lenguaje comienza a forjarse como forma de comunicación oral que se transmite de generación en generación y que no deja de evolucionar. Está en constante evolución. Una de las mayores evoluciones en el campo de la lingüística fue precisamente la escritura que representaba a la perfección la unión de ideas o conceptos de forma gráfica y el comienzo de las creencias religiosas. En este mismo artículo analizamos cuáles son las causas de una interven - ción desde los poderes públicos en algo tan personal e intransferible como el len guaje, así como sus posibles consecuencias. Intentaremos, pues, demos - trar cómo el socialismo en materia lingüística (o su imposibilidad) distorsiona la correcta evolución del lenguaje, comenzando por la Declaración de De - re chos Lingüísticos del año 1996 que no ha hecho sino fortalecer un gran nú mero de nacionalismos a lo largo y ancho del globo terráqueo. Finalmente, intentaremos humildemente extraer conclusiones y poner posibles soluciones en un ejemplo muy concreto: España. Palabras clave: Socialismo, planificación, órden espontáneo, evolución, lingüística, lenguaje, pidgin, nacionalismo, economía, institución. Clasificación JEL: Dentro de A1 (General Economics), el apartado A12 (Rela tion of Economics to other Disciplines).

The objective of this article is to study the process of globalization from a multidisciplinary perspective. First, through a historical and evolutionary focus, where we will observe that the globalization is an institution originated in the spontaneous order, just as they are also the division of labor, the price system, the money, the law or the language. Second, through the economic analysis, where we confront the «free trade» —that, through the elimination of barriers, results in the dynamic entrepreneur creativity— versus what Gabriel Zanotti named as the «globalization of the interventionism» —where the government tries to plan and control everything, always generating results that are just the opposite to those it looked for—. Third, we develop a legal and institutional research, analyzing the advantages of the arbitration and the non legal sanctions, as a complement of the public enforcement. Finally, we go into the implications that the globalization exercises on the culture, criticizing the nationalism and the «fenced culture», to give place to an open and «cosmopolitan» society. Key words: Globalization process. Multidisciplinary study. Spontaneous order. Interventionism. Myths of the international trade. Arbitration. Lex Mercatoria. Enforcement. Nationalism. Fenced culture.

Primero, a través de un enfoque histórico y evolutivo, donde observaremos que la globalización es una institución originada en el orden espontáneo, tal como lo son también la división del trabajo, el sistema de precios, la moneda, el derecho o el lenguaje. Se-gundo, a través del análisis económico, donde confrontamos la «libertad de comercio» —que, a través de la eliminación de barreras, da lugar a la dinámica creatividad empresarial— versus lo que Gabriel Zanotti denominó como la «globalización del intervencionismo» —donde el Estado todo lo intenta planificar y controlar, generando siempre resultados contrarios a los buscados—. Tercero, desarrollamos una investigación jurídico-institucional, analizando las ventajas del arbitraje y las sanciones no legales, como complemento del enforcement público. Finalmente, nos adentramos en las implicaciones que la globalización ejerce sobre la cultura, criticando el na-cionalismo y la «cultura alambrada», para dar lugar a una sociedad abierta y «cosmopolita».

It is difficult to establish unequivocally why authority evokes such negative connotations. Authority’s historical manifestations, especially in the 20th century, do not contribute to the amelioration of negative sentiments. The use of authority often leads to its abuse, and though the frequency argument is not philosophically conclusive, nor can it be altogether ignored. This consonance of negative sentiments does not, however, mean that authority is not a  controversial matter. It is; but its controversiality is of a peculiar kind, in which it is not a question of whether authority is good or bad, but whether it is a lesser or a greater evil. Or more accurately, whether it is a necessary or an unnecessary evil. The diverse opinions in this matter have their origin in different anthropological visions of man. One group, which tends to be much more optimistic in its assessment of human nature, professes all authority to be superfluous. The anarchic utopia is presented as the alternative to authority, the utopia of a spontaneous order founded upon agreements established in each particular moment by the members of a given society. The second position, which is more pessimistic of human nature, sees authority as a necessary element, which superimposes order on the chaos of reality, and in so doing creates suitable living conditions by protecting humans from each other. The first conception sees authority as an enemy or, more precisely, as an unjustified destroyer of freedom. The second sees it as a strict father who protects his child for his own good, but in order to do this he justifiably restricts the child’s freedom. The dispute between these two positions is usually resolved through a process of painful reflection: the first position is rejected as being unlikely and unrealistic, while the second is accepted as uncomfortable but necessary.
