Lengua y justicia: Los debates sobre el valor de las lenguas

How should linguistic diversity be managed? What criteria of justice should guide our institutions? Political philosophy has been addressing this issue through discussions on linguistic justice. My goal with this article is threefold. First, to introduce in the academic world written in Spanish a comprehensive and systematic revision of the discussions on linguistic justice, until now relatively absent. Second, to argue that we have reasons to include both pragmatic and identity interests in our discussions of linguistic justice. And finally, to argue that exist a new research pathway that criticizes the eminently distributive approach of most linguistic justice theories. Language, they rightly argue, is a relational element, with implications that go beyond a mere distribution of interests and resources.
