What is a language policy?
In charge of the animation and coordination of the Government’s language policy, the General Delegation for the French Language and the Languages of France presents a revised edition of the Report to Parliament on the French Language.
Under the impetus of the President of the Republic since 2018, the renewal of a public language policy should be emphasized, in France, in the Francophonie, in Europe and in the world, in favour of French as well as plurilingualism. The Ministry of Culture takes its full part in this, and pursues a determined action, in constant dialogue with its partners, interdepartmental, multilateral or international.
The General Delegation for the French Language and Languages of France (DGLFLF) is thus responsible for animating and coordinating the Government’s language policy, under the authority of the Minister of Culture. As an interdepartmental mission administration, it ensures the use of French, the “language of the Republic”, in our society and contributes to its enrichment.
Major mobilizing projects have been launched: an ambitious digital strategy, including the changes in artificial intelligence for the automatic processing of languages, as well as for the “discoverability” of francophone content on the web. So many concrete avenues for our sovereignty and exciting approaches to reinvent plurilingualism.
Because French and the languages of France are essential to our social bond, we act as closely as possible to the territories: for the mastery of the language by the fragile populations, notably through cultural action; through public awareness, including the younger generations; let us add the significant effort in favour of regional languages, both in France and overseas...
New Report to Parliament on the French Language 2023
The new edition of the Report to the Parliament on the French Language presents an overview of the situations, actors and major projects in all these areas. Originally included in the “Toubon” Act, which guarantees our fellow citizens a “right to French”, this reference document, which is still necessary, has been completely rethought in light of these new challenges.
It helps to highlight public policies in favour of the French language in the territory (as for example for plurilingualism) but also to encourage new dynamics. Its purpose is also to make the public very aware of the common good of language.
