Аннотация:Modern language politics in the countries of the Portuguese speech is a continuation of the ideological and political activities in the diverse space of the lusophonic world. The main goal of the language politics is the formation of the language environment that could be favorable to the state, to the authorities that realize the political communication. The language environment is created within the limits of state formations and, therefore, depends on the state structure.
The language environment is an integral area of national culture. In the language politics, a literary language is a powerful means for the formation and construction of national-cultural identity.
In the Portuguese-speaking countries there are different documents concerning the status and use of the language that vary in content, level and degree of legislative influence. Thus, the main documents that emphasize the question of language, are the basic laws in the countries of the Portuguese language, i.e. state constitutions. Some state laws, laws of regional level, acts, decrees, which are issued by state institutions also refer to the language problems.
