*"LINGUISTIC JUSTICE IN HEALTHCARE: MACRO AND MICRO PERSPECTIVES"*
Nicole Marinaro (Ulster) & Cecilia Gialdini (Edinburgh)
Wednesday, 29 May 2024, 09:00 EDT // 15:00 CEST // 18:30 IST

Abstract - Extensive medical research confirms the detrimental consequences
of communication issues in healthcare contexts, supporting the employment
of bilingual healthcare staff and/or the provision of professional
translation and interpreting services. This presentation addresses
linguistic justice in healthcare from a macro and micro point of view,
adopting perspectives pertaining to the realms of social policy and
sociolinguistics.

In social policy, linguistic justice is conceptualised as a parameter to
measure the fairness of language policies. Cecilia presents an instrument
to evaluate healthcare policies to address the state's performance.
Inspired by the capability approach, access to healthcare is defined as a
language-based capability and assessed through a synthetic indicator that
allows cross-country comparison.

As regards the field of sociolinguistics, Nicole discusses the application
to the medical domain of the concept of linguistic unease, “a situation in
which speakers feel that their pragmatic linguistic competence is not
fitting the communicative requirements of the linguistic act they are about
to perform – or even that the symbolic value of their speech acts is
perceived as misplaced” (Iannàccaro et al., 2018: 367). Examining the
patterns of linguistic unease from a subject-centred perspective can allow
us to identify and target issues related to sociolinguistic justice in
relevant societies.

To conclude, we present potential recommendations and future research
trajectories.

*Nicole Marinaro is a PhD candidate at Ulster University. Her research
focuses on the management of communication towards minority language
speakers in the public healthcare sector, taking an interdisciplinary
approach at the crossroad between public policy and
sociolinguistics.

Cecilia Gialdini is a postdoctoral fellow at the
University of Edinburgh, collaborating on the project “TEAMS-Teaching that
Matters for Migrant Students”, and a research associate at the Centre For
Research and Documentation on World Language Problems. Her work focuses on
language policies, intersectionality and social justice.*
