Abstract:

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.
