The first half of this paper is put to the general introduction of Deleuze-Guattari's conception of historical development from the primitive encoding machine to the nationalistic overcoding machine to the capitalistic decoding machine. The age of nationalism is ruled by the principle of paranoiac territorialization represented by centripetal arborescent model, and the age of capitalism is ruled by the principle of schizophrenic deterritorialization represented by centrifugal rhizome model. They advocate nomadic view of life, which suggests that we Korean people should outgrow nationalistic view of life, especially in our language life, now that the rigid conception of national boundary has bocome unfounded at least in the cultural sphere in the prevailing globalization flow. According to their theory of desiring machine, our ideology of globalization corresponds to desire-production, whereas our communication media of language to code-machine. The age of globalized capitalism damands us to forfeit the linguistic patriotism which was worthwhile when the territorial independence was an absolute principle of nation-building. Such updated view of world leads us to accept foreign languages as useful, or even inevitable, elements of renovating our own language. Purity of language cannot be a merit of international communication in the period when cultural purity based on national identity cannot exist any more.
