Resumo: | In this article, the author draws on evidence from newly emerged states’ language policy and planning in the Iranian Plateau, and its surrounding Silk Roads region, in order to illustrate that the European nation-state model has been a major cause of linguistic discrimination in this region although separatist movements can assume that establishing a new state can protect their ethnic languages. The adaptation of this form of governance in these territories has seriously damaged the region’s organic linguistic repertoire. The failure of the modern state to provide an inclusive language policy has long been observed and discussed in the field of sociology of language. In this article, the author provides examples to show that newly emerged nation-states oppress the Indigenous minority languages within them and fall short of satisfactorily addressing the language issues of immigrants because of their narrow and inflexible definitions of nationhood and national identity. Additionally, the author illustrates that nation-states not only target minority languages, but also they undermine the very ethnic language that they claim to promote. This happens by elevating the status of one variation of the ethnic language and at the same time devaluating the other dialects and accents. The author concludes that investment in nation-statism may or may not lead to the creation of a state that is respectful of linguistic human rights. A more meaningful investment in terms of language planning is organizing anti-discrimination movements both in current larger states or possible future ethnic states. |

A pesar de las visiones de los movimientos separatistas etnonacionalistas de crear nuevos estados para proteger sus lenguas étnicas oprimidas en contextos estatales dominantes, entiendo que lograr una educación multilingüe inclusiva puede ser difícil a menos que estos nuevos estados puedan adherirse firmemente a políticas educativas antidiscriminatorias. El texto ilustra cómo los Estados-nación recién surgidos pueden oprimir las lenguas minoritarias indígenas y no lograr abordar satisfactoriamente las preocupaciones lingüísticas de los inmigrantes debido a sus definiciones estrechas e inflexibles de nación e identidad nacional. El artículo también muestra que los estados etnonacionalistas a veces pueden socavar el lenguaje étnico que dicen promover. Esto sucede a través de la devaluación de las variaciones “no estándar” del idioma étnico y la elevación del estatus del inglés por encima de los idiomas locales, como idioma de la ciencia y el aprendizaje. Se concluye que la inversión en nacionalismo no conduce automáticamente a la creación de un sistema educativo antidiscriminatorio y comprometido con la protección de la diversidad lingüística.Apesar das visões dos movimentos separatistas etnonacionalistas de criar novos estados para proteger as suas línguas étnicas oprimidas em contextos de estados dominantes, entendo que alcançar uma educação multilingue inclusiva pode ser difícil, a menos que esses novos estados possam aderir fortemente a políticas educativas antidiscriminatórias. O texto ilustra como Estados-nação recém-surgidos podem oprimir as línguas minoritárias indígenas e falhar em abordar satisfatoriamente as questões linguísticas dos imigrantes devido às suas definições estreitas e inflexíveis de nacionalidade e de identidade nacional. O artigo também mostra que os Estados etnonacionalistas por vezes podem minar a própria língua étnica que afirmam promover. Isso acontece através da desvalorização das variações “não padronizadas” da língua étnica e da elevação do status o do inglês sobre as línguas locais, por ser a língua da ciência e da aprendizagem. Conclui-se que o investimento no estatismo-nação não conduz automaticamente à criação de um sistema educativo anti-discriminatório que esteja empenhado em proteger a diversidade linguística.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística - UFSC2024-03-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer ReviewedEvaluación por paresAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/article/view/9093310.5007/1984-8412.2023.e90933Fórum Linguístico; Vol. 20 No. 4 (2023); 9768-9784Fórum Linguístico; Vol. 20 Núm. 4 (2023); 9768-9784Fórum Linguístico; v. 20 n. 4 (2023); 9768-97841984-84121415-8698reponame:Fórum Linguísticoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/article/view/90933/55496http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKalan, Amir2024-03-11T11:41:50Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/90933Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/oaiportaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br || atilio.butturi@ufsc.br1984-84121984-8412opendoar:2024-03-11T11:41:50Fórum Linguístico - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
