Socio-political events that shook the entire Slavic world at the end of the 80's and at the beginning of the 90's significantly influenced the change in the linguistic situation. The emergence of new national states has led to the loss of the role of t. i. national languages in the former multinational states (Soviet Union, Yugoslavia) and the change in the status of national languages. The consequence of such movements was conditioned by a change in the understanding of the role of standard languages (Vidovič Muha 2013: 71), which also applies to higher education. The university is the highest goal of the national movement and the peak of national life, a key educational, cultural, economic and, last but not least, a linguistic node that, with its all-round operation and direct and indirect reversible effects, strengthens the national life and makes the nation equal and competitive in comparison with other nations - both in the multinational and wider context (Kalin Golob et al. 2014: 15). Modern issues of higher education are complex. The question of the language of higher education is, on the one hand, integrated into the national language policy, while on the other hand, in the field of national higher education policy, education and research policy, and consequently it is determined by the legal norms of other areas. All of this also has an international dimension (Kalin Golob et al. 2014: 209). The present thesis based on a theoretical and empirical approach deals with the selected aspects of language policy in the field of higher education in 3 of the Slavic countries, Poland, Slovenia and Ukraine, where we deal with quite strict and explicit national language policy legislation, which prescribes the obligatory use of an official, national language. Nevertheless, different variants of regulation are present at the level of individual universities. In order to understand the problem, the historical discourse is extremely important, so we will also consider the historical dynamics of language situations in Ukraine, Slovenia and Poland, with a special emphasis on the history of higher education and the history of internationalization. |
