“No crec que es pugui dir que la política lingüística fins ara aplicada a Catalunya hagi fet fallida i molt menys que hagi estat errònia en les seves línies mestres. Ara: certes expectatives sobre l'evolució de la nostra societat s'han revelat infonamentades o, si més no, descansaven sobre bases poc consistents per fer avançar amb decisió el procés de normalització lingüística. Per tant, cal una dinamització de la política lingüística i un canvi de direcció en alguns capítols, tal com insistentment reclamen els més diversos especialistes.
I si aquestes paraules dedicades a la situació de Catalunya són preocupants ¿com seran les destinades a les altres zones dels Països Catalans? [...] ¿tan difícil és aconseguir que almenys els màxims responsables de les tres Comunitats Autònomes de llengua catalana s'esforcin a establir una coordinació regular?”

“…what these metaphors of women as nature, territories, and technologies do is place feminine gender in that same distant category of “other.” According to [Suzanne] Romaine, by comparing her to things like storms and seas, “woman is symbolic of the conflict between nature and civilization, tempting men with her beauty, attracting men with her charms, but dangerous and therefore in need of conquest.” Woman is a continent to colonize, a fortress to siege. These sentiments are reflected not only in English; in languages all over the world, from Italian to Thai, a nation’s government is labelled as having “founding fathers,” while the land itself (“Mother Nature,” “virgin territory”) is perceived as a feminine entity. In grammar as in allegory as in life, women are considered reckless places outside the civilized male world – wild things meant to be tamed into the weak, delicate flowers we’ve traditionally wanted women to be.”
