Getting Linguistic Human Rights Right: A Trio Respond to Wee (2005)

Tove Skutnabb-Kangas1, Miklós Kontra2 and Robert Phillipson3

1 University of Roskilde and Åbo Akademi University, 2 University of Szeged and Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and 3 Copenhagen Business School

It is unfortunate that Wee's commendable effort (2005) to explore the theoretical underpinning of Linguistic Human Rights (LHRs) so as to explore different variants of English in Singapore empirically is marred by a substantial number of misrepresentations of what is stated in our work. We will exemplify this briefly, and otherwise refer the reader to a book that two of us are currently preparing and to Skutnabb-Kangas et al. (2001), in which much of this ground is covered, including comments on intra-linguistic variation and how this relates to the primary concern of LHRs with inter-linguistic discrimination.
