Language (De)standardisation in Late Modern Europe: Experimental Studies
Keywords:
standard languages, ideology, destandardisation, standardisation, Europe, standardness, variabilitySynopsis
This book investigates the ideological dimensions of the various (de)standardisation processes conspicuously present in contemporary Europe. It is a well-documented fact (for overviews, see Deumert and Vandenbussche 2003; Kristi-ansen and Coupland 2011) that all European standard languages are currently undergoing extensions which are considered a threat to the uniformity in their use - which is one of the commonly accepted criteria for standardness (see for instance Auer 2005, 2011). Professional linguists are increasingly attesting sys-tematic variability - in the form of, for instance, regional or social accents - in standard speech produced by the ‘best speakers’ (such as news anchors of official broadcasting institutions) in the most formal contexts. But the fact that vari-eties which are supposed to be uniform are becoming more variable also excites concern and controversy among non-professional language users.
