The collective nature of the pair language-subjectivity

The paper analyzes the connection between language and subjectivity. Based on arguments derived from the pragmatic perspective in linguistic and philosophical studies, we propose the inclusion of a pragmatic approach in the domain of the psychology of language. We then emphasize the importance of considering a collective dimension of the pair language-subjectivity, in order to shed light upon the plan of constant generation of those processes. At last, we introduce the notion of style-subjectivity, which will elucidate the pair language-subjectivity in its performative nature, producing new senses, realities and subjective modalities.
