Resumen

Written in a speculative spirit, this paper is an attempt to take a peek

into what the future might hold for the study of language. It takes into

account the phenomenal changes that the world has undergone since the

days when modern linguistics constituted itself as an academic discipline.

It is argued that these changes call for a radical rethinking of some of

the fundamental assumptions about language that have hardly ever been

questioned until now
