| Tiivistelmä: | This article examines two non-intersecting discourses, discourses on language and discourses on political economy, to investigate the reasons for the apparent non-existence of language discipline of the political economy of language. Unsuccessful attempts to encompass economic categories by categories of linguistics and semiology were suggested by Saussure's only initial analogy between linguistic and economic value. From the other perspective, the apparent exclusion of language from political economic discourse revolves around definitions of wealth and productivity. Linguistic performances were excluded from the category of wealth, the object of political economic discourse, by being assimilated to the category of perishable "services" rather than durable "wealth". |
