language minorities  

Définition

  • Legal concepts such as a national, official, or global language indicate a certain type of linguistic power relationship, one that defines linguistic dominance and inevitably creates minority languages and, thereby, linguistic minorities. This situation may contribute to language shift, language erosion, and, eventually, language death. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Language Minorities]
