LINGUISTIC RIGHTS AND LANGUAGE POLICIES IN BRAZIL: CASE STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY AND PUBLIC SCHOOL

Abstract

This article analyzes language rights, policies, and language planning in two case studies, one at the Federal University of Latin American Integration (UNILA) and the other at a public school in Foz de Iguaçu. Its objective is to observe the relationship between legislation in Brazil and linguistic rights in educational contexts. It uses a methodology of participant observation, action research, and discourse analysis in official documents and those produced by indigenous people and immigrants. The research proposes to observe and adapt institutional practices to favor diversity, symmetrical relationships, and improve the control of public policies, in favor of equity between subjects and their linguistic rights.
