Abstract Fifty years after the Italian Constitution came into effect, a law has been approved protecting minority languages (based on art 6 of the Constitution). The passing of the law is owed in part to the open debates within Europe and to a number of international agreements of recent years. A study of these documents, Italian law, and current legislation in other EU states together gives a general picture of minority language rights. There emerges a growing tendency towards uniformity and towards a bilingual approach aimed at stressing the value of linguistic and cultural differences in a climate of respect and pacific cohabitation - far removed from the model of linguistic segregation which tends to accentuate contrast, mutual incomprehension and lack of communication. The strength of this bilingual, tolerant approach lies in its widespread emergence (promulgated by international documents) in many countries, in particular Europe. |
