Abstract

The paper is based on Herbert Marcuse’s analysis of language in the One-Dimensional Man, it elaborates on the current problems in the field of discourse. With the continuous technological innovation, the improvement of productivity and efficiency separates discourse from the broadest public, and some people grab the ownership and use right of certain discourse. Moreover, the irregular use of language not only damages the language itself, but also destroys the discourse ecology, thus causing the defect of the public discourse right. Analyzing the impact of these phenomena on the society and the public is conducive to solving the injustice in the current society. The use of discourse should belong to all people, because everyone lives in the world equally. The author used literature analysis method to study the separation of discourse and the public in the current society from the interdisciplinary perspective, in order to call for renewed public attention to discourse. The concern of discourse ownership is the pursuit of fairness and justice. In the process of the public's equal enjoyment of all rights arising from language, it will not only promote the confirmation and play of human subjectivity, but also benefit the development of the whole society.
