语言立法发生在哪些领域,针对哪些语言类型,识别起来有多容易?英国(UK)提供了一个很好的测试平台来回答这些问题,因为它经常被认为缺乏强有力的公共语言政策,其中包括整个英国及其下放的行政部门缺乏连贯的语言政策,以及人们认为社会对语言不感兴趣。通过分析英国及其组成司法管辖区的初级和次级立法语料库,其中包含有关语言的规定,本文表明,英国的语言立法跨越多个领域,包括公共卫生和安全,法律和犯罪,交通和媒体。虽然一些立法,如威尔士语言法案,明确涉及语言,但英国绝大多数包含有关语言条款的立法都隐藏在主要涉及其他领域的立法中。虽然隐藏着,但有时这些语言规定标志着语言地位的重要里程碑。所有这些都对英国的语言政策格局产生了影响,潜在地削弱了语言对政府的重要性,并影响了政策制定者在政府间以连贯的方式合作的能力。
In which domains and for which language types does language legislation occur and how easy is it to identify it? The United Kingdom (UK) affords a good test bed to answer these questions since it is often considered to be lacking in strong public language policy due to, amongst other things, a lack of a coherent language policy across the UK and its devolved administrations and a perceived societal disinterest in languages. Through analysis of a corpus of primary and secondary legislation from the UK and its constituent jurisdictions that contain stipulations about language(s), this article shows that UK language legislation spans multiple domains, including public health and safety, law and crime, transport and the media. Whilst some of the legislation, such as the Welsh Language Acts, explicitly deals with language(s), the vast majority of the UK's legislation which contains provisions concerning language(s) is hidden in legislation which primarily concerns another domain. Although hidden, at times these language stipulations mark important landmarks in the status of languages. All this has consequences for the UK language policy landscape, potentially diminishing the perceived importance of languages in and to government and affecting policymakers' ability to collaborate across government in a coherent way.
