👉 Folkishness is a concept in the philosophy of linguistics that refers to the idea that language is not created by human beings but rather it is constructed and shaped through cultural, social, and historical processes. It emphasizes the role of language in shaping social and cultural practices and identities. In folkishness, people often describe their language as "folk" or "folkish," which implies that language is a product of the collective experiences and traditions of a particular culture or group.
