Gairebé a punt de complir-se el quarantè aniversari de l’aprovació de la Llei 3/1986, de 29 d’abril, de normalització lingüística de les Illes Balears, continua molt viu el debat sobre el règim de capacitació lingüística del personal sanitari del Servei de Salut. Les successives revisions normatives sobre l’ús de les llengües oficials en aquest àmbit i la resposta judicial, tant respecte a l’establiment del requisit de coneixements de llengua catalana com a l’adopció de mesures potencialment...

The Spanish Constitution of 1978 and the Statute of Autonomy of the Balearic Islands of 1983 established the official nature of both Spanish and Catalan and entrusted public authorities with guaranteeing the right of citizens to use one or the other on an equal footing. Subsequent to the language legislation of 1986, the legal framework of Catalan has varied depending on the majority party that forms a government. The debate stirred up by these regulations demonstrates the difficulties in...

Nous nous proposons de présenter un modèle conceptuel susceptible de répondre à cette question. Selon ce modèle, trois facteurs sont au fondement de la reproduction linguistique d’une communauté en situation minoritaire : la gouvernance, l’identité et la vitalité, avec comme point pivot, la société...

This study examines the impact of Finland’s social and healthcare reform on language-based welfare services for the Swedish-speaking population of Finland. The reform shifted healthcare responsibility from municipalities to regional wellbeing service counties (WBSCs), altering established linguistic boundaries in the process. Traditionally, municipalities have ensured the provision of services in both Finnish and Swedish in bilingual areas. Post-reform, Swedish speakers that represent a...

Despite the importance of interactions in services, the role language plays in services is an under-researched field. This paper outlines for which services language is especially important. Consistent across studies in three countries (Belgium, Canada and Finland), the findings suggest that bilingual consumers find it particularly important to be served in their native language in high-involvement services. Moreover, for high-involvement services, all consumers find it important to be...

Catalan-speaking citizens living in Catalonia have full, formal rights to use their language with all of their region’s administrations. Nevertheless, the available information on the knowledge and use of Catalan by civil servants shows that health care is a weak spot for regional administrations, due to the difficulty in covering all medical specialties. Plataforma per la Llengua has undertaken research in the form of a survey with a sample of 1,600 Catalan inhabitants, to ascertain the...

The loss of language skills is one of the most challenging aspects of living with dementia. This is particularly true for bilingual individuals, who have difficulty in maintaining fluency in more than one language. Language and culture overlap greatly, with potential implications for the well-being of people with dementia (PWD) being cared for in their ‘second’ language or culture. Our aim was to review the available relevant literature, together with an examination of the potential effects...

The Basque Health Service has developed language schemes to fulfill the legal requirements. Currently, there is a vast transformational shift from legislative policies to an evidence-based, patient-centred care approach. This paper discusses three key issues which could enhance language appropriate care: the recording of patient’s preferred language; the Basque language care...
