Zagotavljanje jezikovnih pravic v sodobni družbi
Gorjanc, Vojko ; Morel, Alenka
The contemporary Slovenian situation is increasingly marked by multiculturalism and multilingualism, which are becoming a major linguistic challenge theoughout the world. Especially after having ...joined the European Union, Slovenia is ever more under the influence of migration flows. Even though immigration has dropped significantly with the economic crisis, the netmigration of foreigners in Slovenia, in contrast to general net migration, constantly remains positive, with migrants coming from very different linguistic backgrounds. To ensure linguistic rights as fundamental rights and the equal treatment of all before the law as well as in other social spheres, translation and interpreting are establishing themselves as a necessity. The regulation of this professional field, defined by society's weakest members, is indicative of a society's democratic level. Taking into account informationgained by direct observation and interviews, the article presents the Slovenian situation from the perspective of the need to ensure community interpreting. The Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia generally guarantees linguistic rights in public settings, yet the implementation depends on specific laws, thus ensuring and formally regulating interpreting only in court and asylum procedures, while no services are offered in general social and healthcare settings (exempt from sign language interpreting), resulting in power imbalance in interpreter-mediated interactions where language barriers are overcome by improvisation and goodwill of all parties involved. The article ends with suggestions on how to improve the situation in Slovenia, considering that an integral arrangement of community interpreting is nowadays necessary, respecting linguistic rights as basic human rights.
