Abstract

Dictionaries of language difficulties provide an interesting insight into the implementation of linguistic models. In the case of Catalan, dictionaries of language difficulties show the challenges faced by the standardization process of this minority language. This article examines the role of dictionaries of language difficulties in the standardization process of Catalan since the early 1980s. First, some historical background is provided. Second, a number of dictionaries of language difficulties are analyzed in relation to Haugen’s (1983; 1987) linguistic management model. Finally, the impact of Information and Communication Technologies on this type of publication is explored.
