Research has recently called into question some of the dichotomies used in the study of language (cognition vs. communication, in the first place). The new perspectives - variously belonging to a paradigm of complexity and stemming from the so-called "second-generation cognitive revolution" or "embodied mind revolution" - may be traced to a philosophical tradition rooted in 18th-century thought. Moving from recent reconstructions, this paper traces a philosophical genealogy and focuses on some of the fundamental issues at stake: the links between cognition and communication, individual and linguistic community, and the political relevance of linguistic diversity in a globalized scenario.
