Recent developments in the European integration process have
raised, amongst many other things, the issue of linguistic
diversity, for some a stumbling block to the creation of a European
democratic polity and its legal and social institutions. The
solution to the 'question of language', involves an understanding
of the role played by natural languages and the consequent design
of policies and institutional mechanisms to facilitate
inter-linguistic and intercultural communication. This is not an
exclusively European problem, and nor is it entirely new, for it is
also the problem of linguistic majorities and minorities within
unitary nation-states. However, the effects of globalization and
the diffusion of multiculturalism within nation-states have given
renewed emphasis to the question of language in diverse societies.
Facing the question anew involves reconsidering traditional ideas
about social communication and the public sphere, about
opinion-formation and diffusion, about the protection of cultural
and linguistic minorities, and about the role that language plays
in the process of formation of political and legal cultures. This
volume is intended as a multidisciplinary contribution towards
studying and assessing the range of problems that form the
'language question' in Europe and diverse societies.
