Abstract
The analysis of the different ideological constructions around the languages of Spain shows two main metaphors
that support the linguistic conflict experienced in the last three or four decades: the container metaphor (languages conceived as
entities that are completely independent of each other) and the ecological metaphor (each language occupies a specific niche for
historical reasons). The study of complexity provides a new metaphor as a new solution for this conflict, i.e. the
eco-biosociological metaphor, which is based on the assumption that what is human cannot be explained exclusively by biological
factors, but instead by communicative action in cooperation with others above all. To illustrate the first two metaphors, in this
paper we consider the linguistic position of two new parties: En Marea and En Comú-Podem.
