Language: A Right and Resource
Approaching Linguistic Human Rights
Edited by Miklós Kontra (Hungarian Academy of Sciences), Robert
Phillipson (Roskilde University, Denmark), Tove Skutnabb-Kangas
(Roskilde University, Denmark) and Tibor Várady (Central European
University, Budapest).
Linguistic Human Rights (LHR) is a fast growing new area of study
combining the principles of national and international law with the
study of language as a central dimension of ethnicity. Implementation
of these principles is aimed at ensuring that no state or society
violates these basic rights.
This path breaking study broadens our knowledge of the important role
of language in minority rights and in social and political struggles
for LHRs. Exploring the interactions of linguistic diversity,
biodiversity, the free market and human rights, the contributors
present case studies to highlight such issues as Kurdish satellite TV
attempting to create a virtual state on the air through trying to
achieve basic LHR's for Kurds in Turkey; the implementation of LHRs in
the Baltic states; and the obstacles met in education by Roma and the
deaf in Hungary because of lack of appropriate LHRs.
Language: A Right and a Resource is a valuable multi-disciplinary text
which can be used in a variety of different areas of study in the
legal profession, linguistics, cultural and political studies.
