Resumo

This article distinguishes between language policy and linguistic policies. The first one is also named the politics of language, which interprets the essentials of language diversity as a problem, as rights or as linguistic capital. It analyzes at the national and international level, whereas linguistic policies are the constraints that can be understood from linguistic rights and they follow a certain language policy. These constraints are measures at the intra­national level. Then, the plurilingualism of Bolivia is overt thanks to the recognition of languages at the meso and macro level, say, in the community and in the society.
