Linguistic discrimination, or linguicism, has not been thoroughly explored through socio-political analytical frameworks. This study aims to review existing academic literature on linguistic discrimination and propose new foundations for future research. To understand the conventional research topics and methods in linguistic discrimination studies, this paper critically reviews key concepts and terms, including race-driven, language variation-based, and general perspectives. It then introduces an alternative analytic framework, incorporting methodologies from critical discourse studies (CDS). The socio-political phenomenon of linguistic discrimination is further explored through the lens of Michel Foucault’s governmentality, subjectivity, and the neoliberal form of life. Within this perspective, discriminated languages and subjects are viewed as shadows of neoliberal governance, and ‘the care of the self’ is proposed as a potential form of resistance againt linguistic normalization and discrimination. This study also discusses future areas of research, campaigns, and educational initiatives related to critical language awareness and language diversity.
