Absztrakt (kivonat)

The paper adopts the position that language is an intrinsic and largely non-negotiable part of individual culture and identity. Th e recognition of one’s own language receives more and more support in international political and institutional frameworks. Th e promotion of linguistic diversity has become the offi cial policy of the European Union. Due to such policies it is to be expected that languages will be and will remain in contact in the context of all sorts of levels of governance. In order to manage linguistic diversity in multilingual and multicultural areas the introduction of a global regime of language policies is unavoidable. Th ese policies will need to satisfy transnational requirements and conditions, like universal human rights and Europeanization norms and standards set by the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe, and so on. However, because there are manifold connections between language and power, as we know from the work of the well-known political scientists, like Pierre Bourdieu, and sociolinguists. Th e latter claims that confl ict has always a language element to it.1 Hence, it is to be expected that language policies will be subject to power confl icts and hegemonic strives. In order to support my claim I will analyse the language policies of states with Hungarian language minorities in Central Europe, particularly Romania, Slovakia, Serbia (Vojvodina), and Ukraine (Trans-Carpathia). Th ese policies can be studied in terms of concrete variables, like individual/collective rights, territorial or personal arrangements, thresholds, the Language Charter, multilingual education, the linguistic landscape, and so on. Th e range in which these variables are implemented is determined by local politics. Hence, this is subject to the politics of language policy. Th e ordering of these variables and vectors result into a typology of language policy representing a categorization of liberal language rights for minorites.
