Language rights – their understanding and implementation are an important
element of a state’s language policy, constituting a significant issue in the field of research
on public policy. Within the scope of these studies, researchers do not agree on an exhaustive
list of beneficiaries of these rights and, consequently, on how the catalogue of language
rights should appear. The author of the paper aims to attempt to address this issue by
proposing a definition of natural language that fully meets the current requirements
for developing a legal standard for language rights. The considerations in the work are
conducted from the perspective of models for language as an act of communication
and R. Ruiz’s heuristic patterns in order to clarify the significance of language in society.
