Abstract
Superdiversity is a key term that has taken hold in macro sociolinguistic commentary over the last decade. It has been used to explore the increasing linguistic diversity, particularly in major urban centres in the West, brought about by changing patterns of migration and transmigration. Within sociolinguistics, this has led to an increasing focus on the complex multilingualism that can now be found in diverse urban contexts. The focus on multilingualism that superdiversity brings is a welcome, albeit belated, recognition of the normalcy of mutilingualism, thus challenging the inherent monolingualism still underpinning much language policy, pedagogy, and practice. However, the rise of superdiversity as a theoretical framework has also led to an increasingly deconstructivist view of languages by its proponents – questioning and/or rejecting distinctions between so called named languages, particularly national languages, while also critiquing standard language registers.
In this commentary, I outline the benefits that superdiversity has brought to sociolinguistics over the last decade but also highlight, and critique, its explanatory limits. The latter include, among others, its ahistoricity, its almost exclusive focus on migrants in urban contexts, its dimissal of non-urban, often Indigenous, language contexts, and its rejection of language rights and standard language varieties.

In the last 60 years, we have seen the growing development and articulation of human rights, particularly within international law and within and across supranational organizations. However, in that period, the right to maintain one's language(s), without discrimination, remains peculiarly under–represented and/or problematized as a key human right. This is primarily because the recognition of language rights presupposes a recognition of the importance of wider group memberships and social contexts — conceptions that ostensibly militate against the primacy of individual rights in the post–Second World War era. This paper will explore the arguments for and against language rights, particularly for minority groups within Europe, arguing that language rights can and should be recognized as an important human right. In so doing, the paper will draw on theoretical debates in political theory and international law, as well as the substantive empirical example of Catalonia. ; En los últimos sesenta años, hemos sido testigos del creciente desarrollo y de la articulación de los derechos humanos, en especial en el seno del derecho internacional y a través de las organizaciones internacionales. Sin embargo, en ese periodo, el derecho a mantener una o varias lenguas propias sin discriminación permanece particularmente relegado y/o cuestionado como un derecho humano clave. Esto se debe principalmente a que el reconocimiento de los derechos lingüísticos presupone el reconocimiento de la importancia de un grupo amplio de miembros y contextos sociales —concepciones éstas que chocan ostensiblemente con la primacía de los derechos individuales en la era posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial—. Este artículo explora los argumentos a favor y en contra de los derechos lingüísticos, en particular de grupos minoritarios en Europa, y sostiene que los derechos lingüísticos pueden y deben ser reconocidos como un importante derecho humano. De este modo, el artículo se basa en los debates ideológicos de teoría política y derecho internacional, así como en el importante ejemplo empírico de Cataluña.

Opens with a review of national & international legal debates on the rights & status of the Aotearoa/New Zealand Maori, focusing on the emerging politics of indigenous self-determination. At issue is the Maori adoption of a postcolonial politics of self-determination in their sociopolitical relations with the dominant whites. Trends in national & supranational developments relative to indigenous rights provide a context for understanding the circumstances in Aotearoa/New Zealand. It is concluded that the Maori are making some limited & tenuous progress in the pursuit of justice & restitution for their colonization while exposing the limits of democracy & the colonial underpinnings of nation-state formation. 90 References.
