Abstract
The paper gives a short overview of economic theories of justice and applies this to linguistic rights. Linguistic rights are defined in terms of status planning in specific domains. The point of departure is cost-benefit analysis which is extended in order to take account of distributional issues.
Keywords: cost-benefit analysis, language rights, status planning
