Voice control

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under voice control refers to the concept of a compensation payment which countries or language communities pay for that they will benefit from learning and their language in other countries at the same time save translation costs and language training for their own citizens.

Such compensation payments do not exist; however, as the economic benefits of spreading the English language in particular are growing enormously, appropriate payments are sometimes suggested. From a scientific point of view, the protagonists of such a system include the Belgian Philippe Van Parijs and the Swiss François Grin . Grin has claimed that the primacy of its language saves the UK around € 6 billion a year in tuition costs, using France as the analogue country.

Van Parijs refers to Jonathan Pool , who wrote on the subject as early as 1991, but rejects his suggestion that only the costs of language lessons should be distributed according to the number of heads. Rather, the entire burden must be evenly distributed through compensation payments.

Occasionally, the term language tax is also used in the opposite sense for the existing economic benefit that the proposed payments are intended to compensate for. In this sense, the linguistically disadvantaged countries pay for language tuition in the form of their costs.
