THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK ON LANGUAGE POLICIES AND LANGUAGE RIGHTS

Abstract

Language has been typically politicized and used as a political tool in the modern period for the first time in the history. Language policies have arisen through nationalism period which has built ‘‘nation’’ within a common identity. The framework of language policies has been usually formed by the politics of ‘‘national identity’’ of nation-states. In this context, nation-states have implented monolingualism policy which aims a linguistic homogenization and has an assimilationist characteristic. This language policy has led to the removal of some languages from the public life and some of these not chosen by state languages are subjected to disappear. There is a natural ‘‘conflict’’ between assimilationist language policies and language rights. Language rights have emerged as a struggle for existence and a demand for right against ‘‘fundamental injustices’’ of assimilationist policies. Language rights struggle have relatively eroded assimilation policies and created multilingualism policies. The determination of dimensions and qualifications of language rights, which are also related to some other rights, have been partly relevant the ascribed meaning and function of language. Language, ontologically a major element of human, has basically two main functions as communicative and identity. There are various discussions on the basis, nature and characteristics of language rights recognized within these functions. This article aims to perform a theoretical analysis of the nature of language policies and language rights.
