In my paper I aim at discussing the problem of freedom in culture, in general, and in language, in
special, by resorting to Ortega y Gasset and Coseriu’s philosophical ideas. Both thinkers state that genuine
freedom is opposed to barbarism or libertinism due to the fact that it is governed by a series of norms or rules
freely consented by society/community. The same is valid, in broad terms, for language as well, only that, in
this case, the norms (placed at different levels) present certain particularities.
