Abstract |
|
In this study, we take an approach to the development of sustainable or consistent economic models, which is
described through the interactions between political discourse and economics. We highlight the importance of language in
both - political discourse and economy -, as an articulating element from real to monetary factors, and the indescribable
characteristic of value, as something that is integrated into the cognitive linguistic process. We show, through a critical
look at political and media discourses, that economic theories are different from practice, shedding light on scientific
research into the nature of the interpretative value in economic theories. The elusive effects of language on the economy
cannot be taken for granted or as ideologically static, because it is precisely the structuring principles of the cognitive
linguistic process that act in the construction of information and value. The determinism arising from the legal-political
discursive instance, which establishes values in advance through laws, speeches, and narratives, can serve as traps and
ambushes for economic transactions. Volatility in transactions is due to the dynamic context of “real” reality rather than
idealized reality and both realities can be discerned in the fundamental structure of language. Economic theories
synchronized with dynamic reality can change the economic landscape in a way that directs economic models beyond
theoretical knowledge. In this way they provide a synergy between theory and practice, merging them into an intuitive
model like human cognition. |
