Meeting Description: 

The conference aims to provide a comprehensive and comparative investigation
into standardization, norms and standard languages, covering a broad range of
linguistic contexts and research perspectives. The set of common thematic
areas listed below is intended to facilitate a comparative and contrastive
orientation to the conference, which will open up new perspectives on language
standardization since discussions to date have largely or entirely centred on
European languages. Taken together, the papers will present original recent
research exploring the subject through the lens of education, language
endangerment and revitalization, language policy, literature, minoritized
languages, multilingualism and other salient areas.
