CORE DEFINITION

In a novel (or society), there is no single, authoritative language, but rather a coexistence and contention of various dialects, jargons, official languages, and vernacular languages. Truth is not found in monologue, but in the dialogue and conflict of these heterogeneous languages.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

A decentralized narrative perspective. When doing branding or management, do not try to unify everyone's voice (monologue). Allow "heteroglossia" to coexist, letting official discourse collide with user memes and employee complaints; this cacophony is a sign of ecological prosperity.
