Summary/Abstract: In the era of globalization, Blazhe Koneski is not only the name that divides the ages, but also the backbone of the Macedonian collective linguaculture. However, his work should not be read as a kind of a „linguistic gospel“”, but more as a „linguistic message“ to the present and future Mace-donian generations that will need to take good care of their own mother tongue, in order to love, respect, and behave actively and creatively with it. The famous English philosopher and linguist of Austrian origins Ludwig Wittgenstein once said: „The limits of my language are the limits of my world“. Koneski’s message is that every Macedonian needs to contribute as much as possible to the expanding of the boundaries of their own language, thereby expanding the boundaries of their world. The development of the Macedonian linguaculture as an open, self-isolated universe of linguistic and cultural practices, is the direction in which to act.
