Eduardo D. Faingold, professor of Spanish and linguistics, was appointed a member of the Scientific Committee of the International Academy of Linguistic Law.
The IALL-AIDL, a scientific international multidisciplinary organization established in Montreal and Paris in September 1984 by 100 founding members, brings jurists, linguists, social scientists and all those worldwide who are interested, scientifically or professionally, in phenomena and problems pertaining to the world’s linguistic diversity, to linguistic contacts and conflicts, as well as to law and language, especially to comparative linguistic law (or language law). Comparative linguistic law refers to the different legal and linguistic norms pertaining to the law of language, the language of law and the linguistic rights (or language rights) as fundamental rights all over the world.
Faingold’s appointment to this prestigious position comes in the wake of the publication of his books Language rights and the law in the United States and its territories (Lexington Books, 2018) and Language rights and the law in the European Union (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020).
