Abstract
This article invites mainstream language policy research to discover the potential of normative political theory to help stimulate new thinking on matters of linguistic justice, specifically in the context of the linguistic integration of newcomers in a multilingual world. Further developing the “normative language policy” framework, devised to bridge empirical research in sociolinguistics and applied linguistics and ethical debates in normative political theory, it examines three key questions: (i) To what extent should host societies’ language policymaking take the interests of newcomers into account?; (ii) How might the demands of linguistic integration be reconciled with efforts to protect and promote established minority or minoritised languages?; and (iii) Is there a legitimate role to be played by English as a lingua franca (ELF) to facilitate integration in non-anglophone contexts? Aiming to foster the development of shared epistemologies related to language, power and ethics, the article makes the case for a new interdisciplinarity in language policy research, with a view to offering a constructive, practical and principled pathway for devising more just language policies in integration contexts and beyond.
Résumé
Intégration linguistique et justice linguistique dans un monde multilingue: Sur les apports d’une approche dite « politique linguistique normative
Cet article invite la recherche conventionnelle sur les politiques linguistiques à découvrir le potentiel de la théorie politique normative pour stimuler une nouvelle réflexion sur les questions de justice linguistique, en particulier dans le contexte de l’intégration linguistique des nouveaux arrivants dans un monde multilingue. En approfondissant le cadre de la « politique linguistique normative », conçu pour faire le lien entre la recherche empirique en sociolinguistique et en linguistique appliquée et les débats éthiques de la théorie politique normative, l’article examine trois questions clés : (i) Dans quelle mesure les politiques linguistiques des sociétés d’accueil devraient-elles prendre en compte les intérêts des nouveaux arrivants ? ; (ii) Comment concilier les exigences de l’intégration linguistique avec les efforts visant à protéger et à promouvoir les langues minoritaires ou minorisées établies ? ; et (iii) L’anglais, en tant que lingua franca (ELF), a-t-il un rôle légitime à jouer pour faciliter l’intégration dans des contextes non anglophones ? Visant à favoriser le développement d’épistémologies partagées autour des questions de langue, de pouvoir et d’éthique, l’article plaide en faveur d’une nouvelle interdisciplinarité dans la recherche sur les politiques linguistiques, afin de proposer une voie constructive, pratique et fondée sur des principes pour élaborer des politiques linguistiques plus justes dans des contextes d’intégration et au-delà.
Resumo
Lingva integrado kaj lingva justeco en multlingva mondo: Pri la avantaĝoj de normiga lingvopolitika aliro
Tiu ĉi artikolo invitas la ĉefan esploradon pri lingva politiko malkovri la potencialon de normiga politika teorio por helpi stimuli novan pensadon pri aferoj de lingva justeco, specife en la kunteksto de la lingva integriĝo de novalvenintoj en multlingva mondo. Pluevoluigante la kadron de “normiga lingva politiko”, ellaboritan por ponti empirian esploradon en sociolingvistiko kaj aplikata lingvistiko kaj etikajn debatojn en normiga politika teorio, ĝi ekzamenas tri ĉefajn demandojn: (i) Kiomgrade la lingvopolitiko de gastigantaj socioj devus konsideri la interesojn de novalvenintoj? (ii) Kiel oni povus akordigi la postulojn de lingva integrado kun klopodoj por protekti kaj antaŭenigi establitajn minoritatajn aŭ minoritatigitajn lingvojn?; kaj (iii) Ĉu ekzistas prava rolo por la angla kiel lingvafrankao (English as a lingua franca, ELF) por faciligi integriĝon en neanglalingvaj kuntekstoj? Celante antaŭenigi la disvolviĝon de komunaj epistemologioj rilataj al lingvo, potenco kaj etiko, la artikolo argumentas por nova interdisciplineco en lingvopolitika esplorado, kun la celo proponi konstrueman, praktikan kaj principan vojon por ellabori pli justajn lingvajn politikojn en kuntekstoj de integrado kaj pretere.
