About this book

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.

Reviews

Die in dem Band zusammengetragenen Referate bieten einen Einblick in aktuelle Forschungsfelder zu nationalen Standardisierungstendenzen. Vor allem hinsichtlich der historischen Bedingungen liefert das empirisch fundierte Buch reichen Ertrag.
