11.1 Orthography and Orthoepy
-
David Paloma
Abstract
This article presents the 19th century orthographical reform of the Catalan language and its impact on orthoepy in the context of standardization. It thus highlights the orthographic and orthoepic foundations from which the reference model of the Catalan language arose. The progress of this language is explained with the linguistic corpus planning - historically tied to the status planning with examples that illustrate the role of the magazine L’Avenc, the linguist Pompeu Fabra and the Institut d’Estudis Catalans. The article considers the current language of media to help define the distance between norms and standards. Finally, the aim of this article is to demonstrate that the new Catalan orthography is dynamic. Moreover, it lends itself to the whole language community (including, for example, the Valencian tradition of accentuating some words), and the orthoepy adapts itself to a growing polymorphism.
