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. 2019-11-21 15:56:11 2020-04-01T09:45:09Z 2020-04-01T09:45:09Z 2018 book 1006002 OCN: 1135855671 9781138125124;9781317298878;9781317298854 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/24129 eng Routledge Critical Studies in Multilingualism application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 1006002.pdf https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781315647722 Taylor & Francis 10.4324/9781315647722 10.4324/9781315647722 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb 9781138125124;9781317298878;9781317298854 open access
