Subject(s): South Slavic Languages, Philology
Published by: Hrvatsko filološko društvo
Keywords: Girona Manifesto on Linguistic Rights; International Mother Language Day;

Summary/Abstract: This paper is a reaction to the Girona Manifesto on Linguistic Rights and the fact that it is too vague and exceedingly concise in certain points, and thus open to multiple interpretations. The paper also criticises the International Mother Language Day and its origins. Both points require linguistic re-evaluation because of their intentions regarding the language preservation.
