Description

Explore the diverse applications of linguistic purism in this scholarly volume from the Studia Linguistica Germanica series. Published by De Gruyter, this book examines how purism functions across various historical and social contexts. Readers will find detailed analyses of the relationship between purism and historical prescriptivism, specifically looking at the influence of 17th and 18th-century grammarians. The text also covers the role of purism in nationhood through the standardization of languages like Afrikaans and Luxembourgish. Additional topics include modern societal trends, such as puristic tendencies in computer chatrooms, and the study of folk linguistics regarding perceptions of English varieties. This academic resource also addresses the presence of puristic notions within the historiography of German, making it a valuable reference for language students and researchers.
