Deleuze and Guattari's philophy of linguistics

What is it about?

This paper aims to consider the main features of the philosophy of linguistics proposed by Deleuze and Guattari. Indeed, although usually neglected, Deleuze and Guattari’s reflections on language are, as the paper aims to show, for the most part consistent with some of the major trends in contemporary linguistic research, like functionalism, sociolinguistics, dialectology and gender linguistics.
