The texts that make up this book are imbued with a steady scientific position: that language, every human language, is neither simply an instrument nor should it be regarded as such; language is not a tool; it is, first and foremost, a value.

A social, moral, spiritual, and educational value. A national value. A value that affirms - or devalues - the existence of humanity in its decisive expressions: in the expression of thoughts and perceptions of one's inner world and the essence of being a person; in the linguistic organization and taxonomy of the external world; in the development of qualitative relationships that biologically differentiate it from other forms of the living world.
