Die Arbeit untersucht den Einfluss der Grammatiker des siebzehnten Jahrhunderts auf die Ausbildung einer Norm der deutschen Schriftsprache. Orthographische, morphologische und syntaktische Merkmale aus einem Korpus handschriftlicher Protokolltexte werden mit den metalinguistischen Aussagen in zeitgenössischen sprachtheoretischen Arbeiten verglichen. Als bedeutendster Grammatiker steht dabei J. G. Schottelius im Vordergrund. Besondere Bedeutung wird auch den Briefstellern G. Ph. Harsdörffers und K. Stielers eingeräumt, da bei diesen ein direkter Einfluss auf die Schreibpraxis zu vermuten ist. Die Bedeutung der Grammatiker als dominanter Faktor bei der Ausbildung der deutschen Schriftsprache wird nach einem Vergleich von Theorie und Praxis in Frage gestellt. Aufgewertet wird andererseits die Bedeutung der kanzleisprachlichen Schrifttradition. Die Untersuchung des soziolinguistischen Hintergrundes der analysierten Protokolltexte liefert wertvolle Hinweise zum Fortbestehen dieser weithin für das siebzehnte Jahrhundert totgesagten Kanzleitradition. Zusätzlich werden die Arbeitsbedingungen städtischer Kanzlisten beleuchtet, insbesondere ihre Qualifikation und ihr Status, die in der Praxis nicht ohne Auswirkungen auf die Sprachwahl blieben. Die pragmatische Untersuchung der Protokolltexte selbst liefert anhand der Hamburger Kaufmannschaft ein anschauliches Beispiel für den gezielten Einsatz geltungshoher und -weiter Sprache als Machtinstrument.

The "one-nation-one-language" assumption is as unrealistic as the well-known Chomskyan ideal of a homogeneous speech community. Linguistic pluricentricity is a common and widespread phenomenon; it can be understood as either differing national standards or differing local norms. The nine studies collected in this volume explore the sociocultural, conceptual and structural dimensions of variation and change within pluricentric languages, with specific emphasis on the relationship between national varieties. They include research undertaken in both the Cognitive Linguistic and socolinguistic tradition, with particular emphasis upon the emerging framework of Cognitive Sociolinguistics. Six languages, all more or less pluricentric, are analyzed: four Germanic languages (English, German, Dutch and Swedish) and two Romance languages (Portuguese and French). The volume describes patterns of phonetic, lexical and morphosyntactic variation, and perception and attitudes in relation to these pluricentric languages. It makes use of advanced empirical methods able to account for the complex interplay between conceptual and social aspects of pluricentric variation and other forms of language-internal variation.

"This volume addresses a crucial, yet largely unaddressed dimension of minority language standardization, namely how social actors engage with, support, negotiate, resist and even reject such processes. The focus is on social actors rather than language as a means for analysing the complexity and tensions inherent in contemporary standardization processes. By considering the perspectives and actions of people who participate in or are affected by minority language politics, the contributors aim to provide a comparative and nuanced analysis of the complexity and tensions inherent in minority language standardisation processes. Echoing Fasold (1984), this involves a shift in focus from a sociolinguistics of language to a sociolinguistics of people. The book addresses tensions that are born of the renewed or continued need to standardize 'language' in the early 21st century across the world. It proposes to go beyond the traditional macro/micro dichotomy by foregrounding the role of actors as they position themselves as users of standard forms of language, oral or written, across sociolinguistic scales. Language policy processes can be seen as practices and ideologies in action and this volume therefore investigates how social actors in a wide range of geographical settings embrace, contribute to, resist and also reject (aspects of) minority language standardization."--Provided by publisher.
