Resumo: From the third chapter of the “posthumous” Saussure work to the most recent and “heterodox” works, defining language has been a constant concern in Linguistics, so that the different fields of Language Studies are primarily distinguished by the different perspectives of language that those ones sustain. However, the same interest is not noticed among linguists to define what a language is, what one might call, laconically a “substantival adverb”, in other words, the language in the form of [speaking] Portuguese, Spanish, English etc. This present work is precisely about this absent-mindedness. What can be seen from it, based on the theoretical and methodological dialogue of a critical linguistics with the Social Sciences, is an obvious fragility of the concept of language, which results in a truly serious consequence: a whole science rise up, is institutionalized for decades in colleges throughout the world, with an immense volume of scientific production, which brings theories and methods believed universally valid and applicable, but that’s part of an object created by/in modernity, forcibly universalized and managed depending on the nation-state interests.Keywords: language, modernity, nation-state.

Contudo, não se percebe, nem de longe, o mesmo interesse por parte dos linguistas em definir o que é uma língua, aquilo a que se pode chamar, laconicamente, um “advérbio substantivado”, ou seja, a língua na forma de [falar] português, espanhol, inglês, etc. Este trabalho trata, precisamente, dessa desatenção. O que se depreende dele, à luz do diálogo teórico-metodológico de uma Linguística crítica com as Ciências Sociais, é uma patente fragilidade do conceito língua, o que comporta uma consequência verdadeiramente grave: ergueu-se toda uma ciência, institucionalizada há décadas em faculdades por todo o mundo, com um volume de produções nada desprezível, que aporta teorias e métodos cridos universalmente válidos e aplicáveis, mas que parte de um objeto inventado na e pela modernidade, universalizado à força, manejado ao sabor dos interesses do Estado-nação.Palavras-chave: língua, modernidade, Estado-nação.Unisinos2015-08-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2015.132.09Calidoscópio; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2015): May/August; 227-238Calidoscópio; v. 13 n. 2 (2015): maio/agosto; 227-2382177-6202reponame:Calidoscópio (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2015.132.09/4825Linhares, Miguel AfonsoAlencar, Claudiana Nogueira deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2015-10-22T10:45:01Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/8922Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopioPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/oaicmira@unisinos.br || cmira@unisinos.br2177-62022177-6202opendoar:2015-10-22T10:45:01Calidoscópio (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
