Isi artikel

This first of two installments, the second of which will appear in LPLP 22/2, opens with a section providing a broad sketch of the evolving world language system. The next section introduces an index for the communication potential (Q-value) of languages within this constellation. The third section identifies languages as collective goods that also display "external network effects", characteristics they share with standards and non-excludable communication networks: "hypercollective goods". The collective cultural capital of a language group consists of the totality of accumulated texts accessible in the language and carries the same hypercollective properties.
