Description
Summary:While European policies were clearly engaged in favor of linguistic diversity, the recognition by France of its regional and minority languages is not yet a reality. This article explains the main lines of European language policies, such as multilingual and intercultural education, advocated by the Council of Europe. It then describes the impact of these policies in France, particularly through the debate on the ratification of the European Charter for Regional or Minority languages, until these languages were recognized by the French Constitution in 2008. Alors que les politiques européennes se sont engagées clairement en faveur de la diversité linguistique, la reconnaissance par la France de ses langues régionales et minoritaires tarde à s'imposer. Le présent article explicitera les orientations principales des politiques linguistiques européennes, ainsi que le parti-pris de l'éducation plurilingüe et interculturelle défendu par le Conseil de l'Europe. Sera ensuite décrite l'incidence de ces politiques en France, notamment à travers le débat sur la ratification de la Charte européenne des langues régionales ou minoritaires jusqu'à leur inscription dans la Constitution en 2008.
