Dejavnosti in možnosti izoblikovanja jezika na madžarsko govorečem prostoru in proces Palást

Abstract

This essay intends to show the results, dilemmas, work, aspects and theoretical motivation behind research group activities underlying language management theory, with the language problem as the focal point (and not language incorrectness). The objective is to uncover, analyse, and solve the most inclusive range of linguistic problems in a language speaking community. The linguistic problem is everything perceived by average speakers in communication, and not problems considered to be such by experts working at certain elite social institutions. It does away with practices of recent language cultivation to an extent that it considers language variations to be a natural linguistic process and by no means a deterioration of the language. It emphasises that language shaping in the language use of minorities inside the Hungarian language community is of even greater importance than in the mother country.

V razpravi želim okvirno predstaviti delo, stališča, teoretične vzgibe, dileme in rezultate dela raziskovalne skupine. To temelji na teoriji jezikovnega menedžmenta (Language Management Theory; Björn H. Jernudd in Jiři V. Neustupný), ki poudarja jezikovni problem (in ne jezikovno nepravilnost). Njen cilj je razkrivanje, analiziranje in reševanje čim večjega števila jezikovnih problemov, nastalih v določenih govornih skupnostih. Jezikovni problem je to, kar občutijo govorci med vsakdanjo komunikacijo, in ne tisto, o čemer odločajo strokovnjaki v različnih elitnih družbenih ustanovah (npr. ministrstva, akademije). Od dosedanje prakse v jezikovni kulturi se strokovnjaki ločimo tudi po tem, da razumemo jezikovne spremembe kot naravne procese in ne kot podiranje knjižne norme. Poudarjamo tudi, da je v okviru madžarske jezikovne skupnosti oblikovanje maternega jezika med manjšinami še bolj pomembno kot v matični državi.
