Linguistic Ideologies and Worldviews: Evolution, Comparisons, and
Contrasts

A medium through which individuals and groups act and interact in the
social world (Thompson, 1987), language is also a semiotic vehicle for
the production and circulation of ideologies and worldviews. In the
era of globalization, marked by an explosion of digital communication,
and an unprecedented progress in information technology, linguistic
ideologies and linguistic worldviews are being constructed and
expressed in new contexts. This special issue invites researchers to
inquire into the semiotic and socio-cultural processes on which
linguistic ideologies and linguistic worldviews rely, as well as to
examine their evolution through various theoretical approaches, and
interdisciplinary perspectives.

This issue’s main objective is to understand how linguistic ideologies
and linguistic worldviews are interrelated at the social, cultural,
cognitive, and discursive levels in English-speaking contexts or their
comparison and contrast with other linguistic and cultural contexts.
It also seeks to explain how and to what extent globalization, along
with the evolution of information technology and mass communication,
have influenced language users’ cognitive and semiotic
conceptualizations and discursive (re)productions of linguistic
ideologies and worldviews. Authors are invited to tackle these and
related questions in a synchronic or diachronic perspective. They are
encouraged to study linguistic ideologies and linguistic worldviews in
their relation to culture, cognition, discursive practices, power
relations, politics, religion, etc., to explore the changing nature of
linguistic ideologies and worldviews across time and in relation to
historical and geopolitical events (colonization, the world wars, the
Cold War, geopolitical conflicts, etc.) or “grand narratives”
(capitalism, communism, socialism, liberalism, Marxism, etc., see
Lyotard, 1979). We also welcome theoretical or empirical studies which
contrast linguistic ideologies and linguistic worldviews to highlight
their recurring or divergent patterns across socio-cultural,
linguistic, political, and geographical spaces, as well as across
various discursive genres or practices, including their expression
through conceptual metaphor and metonymy (Goatly, 2007; Underhill,
2011). The concept of “linguistic ideologies” is generally traced back
to Michael Silverstein, who defines it as “any sets of beliefs about
language articulated by the users as a rationalization or
justification of perceived language structure and use” (Silverstein,
1979: 193). Silverstein’s definition concerns “ideologies about
language”, but as Woolard and Schieffelin (1994) posit, language
ideologies also relate to other social, cultural and philosophical
phenomena, such as identity, aesthetics, morality, universality,
authenticity, etc. Therefore, we should distinguish ideologies about
language itself, from “ideologies encoded in or through language”
(Woolard 2020).

Furthermore, it is theoretically relevant to underline the hypernym
relation between “ideology” in general and “linguistic ideology”
defined in Critical Discourse Studies as “a perspective (often
one-sided), i.e. a worldview and a system composed of related mental
representations, convictions, opinions, attitudes, values and
evaluations, which is shared by members of a specific social group”
(Reisigl and Wodak 2016: 25)...
