Abstract

Language standardization is the process by which conventional forms of a language are established and maintained. Bringing together internationally renowned experts, this Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of standardization, norms and standard languages. Chapters are grouped into five thematic areas: models and theories of standardization, questions of authority and legitimacy, literacy and education, borders and boundaries, and standardization in Late Modernity. Each chapter addresses a specific issue in detail, illustrating it with linguistic case studies and taking into account the particular political, social and cultural context. Showcasing cutting-edge research, it offers fresh perspectives that go beyond traditional accounts of the standardization of national European languages, and affords new insights into minoritized, indigenous and stateless languages. Surveying a wide range of languages and approaches, this Handbook is an essential resource for all those interested in language standards and standard languages.

Abstract

This book provides a systematic study of sociolinguistic variation in seventeenth-century France. Drawing on a range of case studies, Wendy Ayres-Bennett makes available data about linguistic variation in this period, showing the wealth and variety of language usage at a time that is considered to be the most 'standardising' in the history of French. Variation is analysed in terms of the speaker's 'pre-verbal constitution' - such as gender, age and socio-economic status - or by the medium, register or genre used. As well as examining linguistic variation itself, the book also considers the fundamental methodological issues that are central to all socio-historical linguistic accounts and, more importantly, addresses the question of what the appropriate sources are for linguists taking a socio-historical approach. In each chapter, the case studies present a range of phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexical issues, which pose different methodological questions for sociolinguists and historical linguists alike.

Abstract

"Après la parution des Remarques de Vaugelas (1647), les recueils d'observations sur la langue française, qui traitent des doutes de l'usage, de la variation et des changements linguistiques, se sont multipliés jusqu'à la fin du XVIIe siècle. Cet ouvrage est la première monographie sur ce genre : elle en retrace l'histoire et l'évolution et détermine sa contribution à la fois dans la description du français, dans la standardisation de la langue et dans l'histoire de la grammaire et des théories linguistiques. La partie centrale propose une analyse détaillée des idées linguistiques en examinant successivement les remarques sur la prononciation et l'orthographe, la morphologie, la syntaxe, le lexique et le style des principaux recueils du XVIIe siècle."--P. [4] of cover.
