oooooh, i dont have one but what's the title of stalin's work where he talks about language?

[-] TabularTuxedo@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Marxism and Problems of Linguistics, 1950.

Marxism and the National Question, 1913, specifically when he talks about language on The Nation:

What distinguishes a national community from a state community? The fact, among others, that a national community is inconceivable without a common language, while a state need not have a common language.

I got those books from the ProleWiki article on Language.
