PROTECTION OF THE AZERBAIJANI LANGUAGE IN THE PERIOD OF
GLOBALIZATION: A PRIORITY DIRECTION OF STATE POLICY
Abstract. This article examines the protection of the
Azerbaijani language in the context of globalization and digitalization as a
priority area of public policy from a scientific and analytical perspective.
The study analyzes the interaction of languages in the modern information
environment, the impact of social media and digital technologies on national
languages, and the opportunities and risks posed to the Azerbaijani language.
The role of language in protecting national identity, statehood, and national-spiritual
values through state programs, decrees, and orders, as well as legal and
institutional mechanisms, is substantiated. The article highlights measures
taken to strengthen the position of the Azerbaijani language in the digital
environment, improve the terminology system, protect linguistic norms in the
media and educational environment, and address existing risks. The study
demonstrates that protecting the Azerbaijani language is not only a cultural
issue but also has strategic significance in terms of national security,
national identity, and statehood.
Keywords: Azerbaijani language, globalization, state
