Language and Sovereignty in XVIIth Century France : The Autonomous Production Body of Language.
In the XVIIth century debates concerning the definition and the conditions for the establishment of the French language mobilized juridico-political argumentation around the collective function of language. Behind the socio-political project of embellishing it in order to create royal tool was another stake to which the prohibition of neologisms bears witness language belongs to the people and depends upon its sovereignty, not that of the king. Whatever be the social origin of those who speak it, language conceived as an essential organ of body of speakers and not simply as an instrument or as sign of social distinction, finds itself responsible for the formation and manifestation of linguistic community whose model is not that of absolute monarchy
