Estudios del lenguaje desde una perspectiva glotopolítica

This article provides some reflections stemming from the doctorate research project concerning the “ideologhemes on the formation processes for former combatants after signing the Peace Agreement in Colombia”. This article introduces the topics and study problems dealt with by the glottopolitics, particularly from the ideologhemes. Glottopolitics as a field of knowledge linked to the sociolinguistics inquires into the linguistic practices legitimating, reproducing and transforming the social relationships and the power structures. This paper develops in three parts: a) the ideological representations of language; b) the political function of the language in dictionaries, grammar books and text manuals; and c) the linguistic policies: linguistic norms and regulations accounting for the growing interest in understanding both the language and the country language articulated with then politics.
