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.Amsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.Series IV,Current issues in linguistic theory ;235.Germanic languagesStandardizationCongressesGermanic languagesStandardization430Linn Andrew Robert168361McLelland Nicola285361Standard-Germanic Conference(2001 :University of Sheffield)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961530903321Standardization4347554UNINA
