Download or read book Standardization written by Andrew Robert Linn and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents fourteen case studies of standardization processes in eleven different Germanic languages. Together, the contributions confront problematic issues in standardization which will be of interest to sociolinguists, as well as to historical linguists from all language disciplines. The papers cover a historical range from the Middle Ages to the present and a geographical range from South Africa to Iceland, but all fall into one of the following categories: 1) shaping and diffusing a standard language; 2) the relationship between standard and identity; 3) non-standardization, de-standardization and re-standardization.

This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 871 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language standardization is an ongoing process based on the notions of linguistic correctness and models. This manual contains thirty-six chapters that deal with the theories of linguistic norms and give a comprehensive up-to-date description and analysis of the standardization processes in the Romance languages. The first section presents the essential approaches to the concept of linguistic norm ranging from antiquity to the present, and includes individual chapters on the notion of linguistic norms and correctness in classical grammar and rhetoric, in the Prague School, in the linguistic theory of Eugenio Coseriu, in sociolinguistics as well as in pragmatics, cognitive and discourse linguistics. The second section focuses on the application of these notions with respect to the Romance languages. It examines in detail the normative grammar and the normative dictionary as the reference tools for language codification and modernization of those languages that have a long and well-established written tradition, i.e. Romanian, Italian, French, Catalan, Spanish, and Portuguese. Furthermore, the volume offers a discussion of the key issues regarding the standardization of the ‘minor’ Romance languages as well as Creoles.

Download or read book Language Law and Development in the Third World Countries written by Alexander Raymond Makasa Kasonde and published by Lit Verlag. This book was released on 2000 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study shows that countries in the Third World face the challenge of development from various angles, including language. Human rights in general and linguistic rights in particular, have come to play in an increasingly central role in the mobilization of human and material resources both locally and internationally. Judging from the practice of Language Law in South Korea, the study argues that successive governments in Zambia are to a large scale responsible for the abuse and violation of the linguistic rights of the vast majority of the people of the country. The historical transition from agrarian society to global civilization must be realized within the context of the rule of law and democracy.
Download or read book Prescription and Tradition in Language written by Ingrid Tieken-Boon van Ostade and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contextualises case studies across a wide variety of languages and cultures, crystallising key interrelationships between linguistic standardisation and prescriptivism, and between ideas and practices. It focuses on different traditions of standardisation and prescription throughout the world and addresses questions such as how nationalistic idealisations of ‘traditional’ language persist (or shift) amid language change, linguistic variation and multilingualism. The volume explores issues of standardisation and the sociolinguistic phenomenon of prescription as a formative influence on the notional standard language as well as the interconnections between these in a wide range of geographical contexts. It balances the otherwise strong emphasis on English in English language publications on prescriptivism and breaks new ground with its multilingual approach across languages and nations. The book will appeal to scholars working within different linguistic traditions interested in questions relating to all aspects of standardisation and prescriptivism.
Download or read book Luxembourgish Standardization written by Gerald Stell and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to lend a democratic dimension to the cultivation of that linguistic distinctness, the imagery of a Luxembourgish 'folk standard", natural and regionally inclusive, has provided the other main source of justification for the puristic choices made throughout the process of feature selection." "This book attempts to shed light on the modalities of interaction between the ideology of linguistic distantiation and Luxembourg's language reality. Beside, the modalities of that interaction are placed within the wider perspective offered by the case of standard West Frisian, a linguistic entity likewise largely defined by contrast with a genetically related neighbour and H-language, i.e. Dutch."
Download or read book Sprachen und Sprechen im st dtischen Raum written by Thomas Krefeld and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Städte bieten hochkomplexe sprachliche Räume. Gerade die charakteristischen Faktoren städtischer Alltagskommunikation, nämlich die Masse der interagierenden Sprecher, ihre soziale Differenz, ihre sprachlich-ethnische Heterogenität und ihre Mobilität sind in hohem Maße ortsspezifisch, unter Umständen stadtviertel- oder sogar straßenabhängig. Raumbasierte Stadtsprachenforschung erzwingt die Überwindung der überkommenen Opposition von «ländlicher» Dialektologie und «städtischer» Soziolinguistik; sie markiert dadurch eine zentrale Schnittstelle von Sprachkontaktforschung und Varietätenlinguistik.
