_The Global World_ is_ _a pivotal formula in present-day «Newspeak».
The book’s leitmotif – if it is true that the faces of today’s
global world are manifold_ _– is that language opens to the other,
that the word’s boundaries are the multiple boundaries of the
relation to others, of encounter among differences. Otherness logic is
in language and life. The aim is to evidence how, contrary to
implications of the newspeak order, new worlds are possible, critical
linguistic consciousness is possible – a «word revolution» and
pathway to social change. The method is «linguistic» and concerns
the language and communication sciences. But to avoid that the limits
of the latter influence our perspective on «the global world and its
manifold faces», this method is located at the intersection of
different scientific perspectives. As such it pertains to «philosophy
of language», but in dialogue with the science of verbal and
nonverbal signs, today «global semiotics», therefore it is also
«semiotic». And given that how to understand «the global world» is
not just a theoretical issue, but concerns how we relate to others, to
differences in all their forms and aspects, the method proposed with
this book is also «semioethic».
