Abstract:

This book contextualises case studies across a wide variety of languages and
cultures, crystallising key interrelationships between linguistic
standardisation and prescriptivism, and between ideas and practices. It
focuses on different traditions of standardisation and prescription throughout
the world and addresses questions such as how nationalistic idealisations of
‘traditional’ language persist (or shift) amid language change, linguistic
variation and multilingualism. The volume explores issues of standardisation
and the sociolinguistic phenomenon of prescription as a formative influence on
the notional standard language as well as the interconnections between these
in a wide range of geographical contexts. It balances the otherwise strong
emphasis on English in English language publications on prescriptivism and
breaks new ground with its multilingual approach across languages and nations.
The book will appeal to scholars working within different linguistic
traditions interested in questions relating to all aspects of standardisation
and prescriptivism.
