Description

Explore the complex dynamics of language through this scholarly volume from the Studia Linguistica Germanica series. This book examines the many ways linguistic purism manifests across different historical and social contexts. Readers will find detailed analysis on how purism relates to historical prescriptivism, such as the role of grammarians during the 17th and 18th centuries. The text also investigates the link between purism and nationhood, specifically looking at how it has been used in the standardization of languages like Afrikaans and Luxembourgish. Beyond historical study, this volume addresses modern applications of purism. It looks at how these tendencies appear in contemporary settings like computer chatrooms and explores folk linguistics through the lens of lay perceptions regarding English varieties. Finally, it examines academic linguistics by looking at puristic notions within the historiography of German. This collection provides a wide-ranging perspective on how language standards are formed, maintained, and perceived in society.
