Les politiques langagières en ex-Yougoslavie

Language Policies in Former Yugoslavia In this article the language policy of former Yugoslavia is compared to language policies of the newly constituted states on its territory. The comparison is made through the grid composed of four different typological classifications of language policies (those introduced by Calvet, Phillipson and Skutnabb-Kangas, Fishman, and Kloss), and the conclusion is that, in spite of the proclaimed goals of democratization, nationalistic politics, as ideologically determined as the former language policy was, but in the opposite sense, produced a general deterioration of the state of linguistic rights as well as of the communicative practice.Škiljan Dubravko.
