I deduced this. However, I really don't want to have any notion of the "language" my documents are written in. So to repeat my original question, can I just turn off all of this language business altogether?
This is not possible. When you have set the document language to e.g. French, LyX needs to assure that eventual occurring accents are handled correctly by LaTeX. What you set will of course be used, so when you have set another language than English, you get correctly language-specific LaTeX commands in the code LyX creates in the background.
