Produktbeschreibung
This book examines the language policies relating to linguistic rights in European Union law and in the constitutions and legal statutes of some European Union member states. In recent years, the European Union has seen an increase in claims for language recognition by minority groups representing a considerable population (such as Catalan in Spain and Welsh in the UK). Additionally, there is a developing situation surrounding the official use of English within the European Union in the aftermath of the Brexit vote. In light of these two contexts, this book focuses on the degree of legal protection afforded to linguistic groups in the European Union. It will be of interest to students and scholars of language policy, EU law, minority languages and sociolinguistics.

Rezensionen
"Faingold offers a thorough understanding of linguistic minorities' language rights in the EU by situating his analyses in various legal, political and social settings. ... the book provokes thoughts about possible solutions to address LPP issues in a context of linguistic diversity, such as the author's own suggestion of making cautious adjustments to language laws and policies to help facilitate the linguistic integration of minorities into the EU." (Chenghao An and Zhonghua Wu, The European Legacy, Vol. 28 (2), 2023)

"Examines the provisions about language rights in several selected legislative texts at both national and supranational levels. ... offers some meaningful insights into the possible approaches to improving the linguistic rights in EU legislation,as well as future directions for the research on the legal language status of linguistic minorities in other parts of the world. This book belongs on the shelves of practitioners involved in legislation draftingas well as scholars in forensic linguistics, language policy and language rights." (Yuxin Liu and Fumin Fang, International Journal of Legal Discourse, July, 2021)
