Practical Application of Linguistic Rights
Linguistic Rights manifest as legislation (the passing of a law), subsequently becoming a statute to be enforced. Language legislation delimiting official usage can by grouped into: official, institutionalizing, standardizing, and liberal language legislation, based on its function.
"Official legislation makes languages official in the domains of legislation, justice, public administration, and education, . Various combinations of both principles are also used.... Institutionalizing legislation covers the unofficial domains of labour, communications, culture, commerce, and business...."
In relation to legislation, a causal effect of linguistic rights is language policy. The field of language planning falls under language policy. There are 3 types of language planning: status planning (uses of language), acquisition planning (users of language), and corpus planning (language itself).
