Abstract: Language standardization is problematic because it imposes the
dominant group’s linguistic variety as the only correct one and promotes
the idea of unit thinking, i.e., seeing the world as consisting of bounded,
internally homogeneous units. This volume examines intentional practices to
subvert such processes of language standardization (what we call
counter-standardization practices) in language education and other
contexts. By suggesting alternative classroom pedagogies, language
reclamation processes for indigenous populations, and discourses about
(mis)pronunciation, this volume explores more liberatory approaches: the
post-unit thinking of language.
