This paper addresses linguistic analogy in international relations. It states that there are certain similarities between normative phenomena in international politics and the social phenomenon of language. The first section is a brief overview that explains where linguistic analogy comes from and what it hides. The second section outlines an approach to international norms that circumvents the logic of linguistic analogy.
