Abstract (Italiano)
L’obiettivo di questa tesi è dimostrare che il linguaggio è un’istituzione sociale basata sulla fiducia. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo è stato necessario prima di tutto riconoscere che la lingua ha una natura sia individuale che sociale e che, in conseguenza di ciò, può essere intesa sia come una forma di espressione che come una forma di comunicazione. Dall’analisi di queste due forme è emersa l’idea di un’opposizione ideologica che contrappone due tesi: una chiamata esteticista e l’altra istituzionalista. A modello della tesi esteticista è stata presa a esempio la filosofia di Benedetto Croce, che, nella sua analisi sulla scienza estetica, propone di interpretare il linguaggio come una forma d’espressione. A modello della tesi istituzionalista, invece, è stata presa la teoria della comunicazione di Paul Grice, secondo cui il linguaggio, in quanto frutto di un comportamento condiviso, è da intendersi come uno strumento di comunicazione. Infine, è stata esposta la teoria di John R. Searle sulla creazione delle istituzioni sociali grazie al linguaggio: a partire dalle idee searleiane di intenzionalità e di atto linguistico è stato possibile non solo comprendere che il linguaggio stesso è un’istituzione basata su un insieme di regole comportamentali riconosciute socialmente, ma anche che queste regole funzionano sulla base della fiducia che i parlanti ripongono tanto in sé stessi quanto nell’intera istituzione linguistica.
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that language is a social institution based on trust. To achieve this aim, it was first necessary to recognise that language has both an individual and a social nature and that, as a result, it can be understood both as a form of expression and as a form of communication. The analysis of these two forms gave rise to the idea of an ideological opposition between two theses: one called aestheticist and the other institutionalist. The philosophy of Benedetto Croce was taken as a model for the aestheticist thesis, as in his analysis of aesthetic science he proposes to interpret language as a form of expression. Paul Grice's theory of communication, on the other hand, was taken as a model for the institutionalist thesis, which holds that language, as the result of shared behaviour, is to be understood as a tool of communication. Finally, John R. Searle's theory on the creation of social institutions through language was presented: starting from Searle's ideas of intentionality and linguistic acts, it was possible not only to understand that language itself is an institution based on a set of socially recognised behavioural rules, but also that these rules function on the basis of the trust that speakers place both in themselves and in the entire linguistic institution.
