Decolonial bases for thinking linguistically about subalternized social and linguistic groups

Abstract

This contribution is a critique of the assumptions of the language sciences about what we call language and that are used to think linguistically by subalternized groups, such as Andalusia, the socio-political reality that and from which I investigate. This article presents this criticism based on the proposals of various critical positions, such as North American black feminisms and Latin American decoloniality. Assuming a dichotomy between the ideology of inequality, domination and oppression and the ideologies of equality and social justice, a deconstruction of linguistic science is advocated, decolonizing its concepts in order to think linguistically the inferiorized social groups from other conceptual tools. This is justified in the text by establishing the roots of the linguistic inferiozación of Andalusia around the 16th century, a product of the previous ego conquest.
