Abstract

This article discusses the complex relationship between language and philosophy, focusing on the weaknesses of language and the role of analytic philosophy in epistemology. The main problems raised include the ambiguity of language, its limitations in conveying abstract concepts, and its impact on philosophical thought. This research uses a qualitative method through content analysis and literature studies of the works of philosophers such as Wittgenstein, Russell, and Gettier, as well as a hermeneutic approach to interpreting texts contextually. It aims to examine how language affects philosophical understanding and how analytic philosophy seeks to address the weaknesses of language through logical and semantic analysis. The results show that language, although vital in communication and the construction of reality has limitations such as ambiguity and dependence on context. Analytic philosophy plays a role in clarifying meaning, analyzing concepts, and overcoming misunderstandings through an epistemological approach. This article suggests the need for further research on language in the context of digital technologies and the integration of language philosophy into the educational curriculum to enrich cross-disciplinary understanding. Implicitly, collaborations with cognitive sciences and sociology can provide new insights into the dynamics of language and thought.

Abstract

This study examined the issue of digital inclusivity and inequality in language education, particularly in the context of developing countries such as Indonesia. The problem of digital inequality was identified as multidimensional, encompassing disparities in access to infrastructure, digital skills, and equitable representation of linguistic and cultural diversity. A literature review with a descriptive qualitative approach was employed, drawing on journal articles, UNESCO reports, books, and policy documents to analyze key concepts, manifestations of inequality, and inclusive strategies. The findings indicated that digital inequality significantly affected students’ opportunities in acquiring language skills, leading to achievement gaps, exclusion of marginalized groups, and limited development of 21st-century competencies. Case studies such as Indonesia’s Rumah Belajar, Learning Equality’s Kolibri, and the Talking Book program in Africa demonstrated that inclusive, context-sensitive, and community-based approaches effectively reduced barriers by integrating low-tech solutions, multilingual content, and universal design principles. These results suggested that sustainable solutions require not only technological innovation but also policy support, cross-sector collaboration, and community participation. Therefore, inclusivity must be established as the foundation of digital language education to ensure equitable access, strengthen linguistic diversity, and promote social justice in the digital era.
