Description
Summary:In a close dialogue with questions related to the understanding of linguistic dimensions which are featured around the planetary, social, ecological, economic, political, and imaginary realignments driven by contemporary globalization, this article is focused on the role and importance of language in terms of defining and even determining the processes and transformations wrought by this globalization.
