國家語言發展法之評析與思辯

Analysis, and Critical Thinking of Development of National Languages Act

立法院於2018年12月25日三讀通過行政院所提之《國家語言發展法》，這是臺灣歷史性的一刻，對臺灣各固有族群因過去歷史影響了各族群語言的自然發展而言，算是遲來的正義。唯《國家語言發展法》立法通過以來，各方爭論不斷，尤其對十二年國教課綱的衝擊最大。本文先以描述性的探索方式，就《國家語言發展法》之法案重點整理說明；其次，參考《國家語言發展法》發布之後造成之社會爭議，採框架理論為基礎，以批判思考方式擬定四大議題進行評析與思辨：（一）《國家語言發展法》的立法通過，對弱勢族群而言是遲來的正義；（二）《國家語言發展法》掀起「母語」和「本土語」的論戰；（三）《國家語言發展法》衝擊十二年國教的課程綱要；（四）《國家語言發展法》與「雙語國家政策」相互矛盾與扭曲。最後，提出個人之建議供參。
