Hizkuntza alorreko oinarrizko printzipioak eta euskal Administrazio Publikoetako hizkuntz plangintza

Abstract

How have the basic linguistic principles originating from the legal classification in the linguistic planning of the Basque Public Administrations been applied? What measures would have to be adopted for the future? In response to this last issue, the author makes a series of observations on the General Plan for the Recovery of the Basque language, one of which is based on dividing, in a virtual manner, the territory of the Basque Autonomous Community into three social and linguistic areas, in which, starting from the official character of the Basque language and that of Castilian Spanish, "measures are to be taken to encourage and protect the linguistic rights of the citizens, or to guarantee with total efficiency such rights". One must take into account the fact that nowadays there are no effective guarantees to protect the linguistic rights of Basque speakers.
