Language standardization is an ongoing process based on the notions
of linguistic correctness and models. This manual contains
thirty-six chapters that deal with the theories of linguistic norms
and give a comprehensive up-to-date description and analysis of the
standardization processes in the Romance languages. The first
section presents the essential approaches to the concept of
linguistic norm ranging from antiquity to the present, and includes
individual chapters on the notion of linguistic norms and
correctness in classical grammar and rhetoric, in the Prague
School, in the linguistic theory of Eugenio Coseriu, in
sociolinguistics as well as in pragmatics, cognitive and discourse
linguistics. The second section focuses on the application of these
notions with respect to the Romance languages. It examines in
detail the normative grammar and the normative dictionary as the
reference tools for language codification and modernization of
those languages that have a long and well-established written
tradition, i.e. Romanian, Italian, French, Catalan, Spanish, and
Portuguese. Furthermore, the volume offers a discussion of the key
issues regarding the standardization of the 'minor' Romance
languages as well as Creoles.
