*"LINGUISTIC JUSTICE IN HEALTHCARE: MACRO AND MICRO PERSPECTIVES"*<br>
Nicole Marinaro (Ulster) & Cecilia Gialdini (Edinburgh)<br>
Wednesday, 29 May 2024, 09:00 EDT // 15:00 CEST // 18:30 IST<br>
<br>
Abstract - Extensive medical research confirms the detrimental consequences<br>
of communication issues in healthcare contexts, supporting the employment<br>
of bilingual healthcare staff and/or the provision of professional<br>
translation and interpreting services. This presentation addresses<br>
linguistic justice in healthcare from a macro and micro point of view,<br>
adopting perspectives pertaining to the realms of social policy and<br>
sociolinguistics.<br>
<br>
In social policy, linguistic justice is conceptualised as a parameter to<br>
measure the fairness of language policies. Cecilia presents an instrument<br>
to evaluate healthcare policies to address the state's performance.<br>
Inspired by the capability approach, access to healthcare is defined as a<br>
language-based capability and assessed through a synthetic indicator that<br>
allows cross-country comparison.<br>
<br>
As regards the field of sociolinguistics, Nicole discusses the application<br>
to the medical domain of the concept of linguistic unease, “a situation in<br>
which speakers feel that their pragmatic linguistic competence is not<br>
fitting the communicative requirements of the linguistic act they are about<br>
to perform – or even that the symbolic value of their speech acts is<br>
perceived as misplaced” (Iannàccaro et al., 2018: 367). Examining the<br>
patterns of linguistic unease from a subject-centred perspective can allow<br>
us to identify and target issues related to sociolinguistic justice in<br>
relevant societies.<br>
<br>
To conclude, we present potential recommendations and future research<br>
trajectories.<br>

focuses on the management of communication towards minority language<br>
speakers in the public healthcare sector, taking an interdisciplinary<br>
approach at the crossroad between public policy and<br>
sociolinguistics.</div><div><br></div><div>Cecilia Gialdini is a postdoctoral fellow at the<br>
University of Edinburgh, collaborating on the project “TEAMS-Teaching that<br>
