These terms are to be understood in a very wide sense, allowing discussions of topics such as the norms we orient to in social interaction, the benchmark employed in teaching, or the development of English dialects and varieties over time and space and their relation to the standard language. The collection is organized into three parts, each of which covers an important research field for the study of norms and standards. Part 1 is entitled "English over time and space" and is further divided into three thematic subgroups: standard and non-standard features in English varieties and dialects; research on English standardization processes; and issues of standards and norms in oral production. Part 2 deals with "English usage in non-native contexts," and Part 3 is dedicated to "Issues on politeness and impoliteness." The notions of standards and norms are equally important concepts for historical linguists, sociolinguists with a variationist background, applied linguists, pragmaticians, and discourse analysts. 410 0$aContributions to the sociology of language ;$v95. 606 $aEnglish language$xStandardization 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation 606 $aEnglish language$xDialects 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers 606 $aSociolinguistics 610 $aEnglish/language. 610 $aSociolinguistics. 610 $adialectology. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStandardization. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation. 615 0$aEnglish language$xDialects. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers. 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 676 $a428 686 $aHD 140$qBVB$2rvk 701 $aLocher$b Miriam A.$f1972-$0851553 701 $aStra?ssler$b Ju?rg$01547593 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782776503321 996 $aStandards and norms in the English language$93804059 997 $aUNINA
