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.

«Die lebendige Vielfalt der Sprachen, Kulturen und Regionen bereichern uns» heißt es in der «Berliner Erklärung», welche die Staats- und Regierungschefs von 27 Staaten der Europäischen Union im März 2007 abgegeben haben. Was kann die Politik, was kann jeder Einzelne tun, um diesen Reichtum zu bewahren, vielleicht sogar zu mehren? Wieviele Sprachen gibt es eigentlich in der EU, wie ist ihr rechtlicher Status, in welchen Bereichen werden sie tatsächlich gebraucht? Diese und viele andere Fragen beantwortet dieser Band, der auf Vorträge einer gleichnamigen Tagung zurückgeht. Sprachwissenschaftler verschiedener Disziplinen informieren über die Sprachsituation ausgewählter Länder, erinnern an die unterschiedlichen Traditionen, weisen auf Möglichkeiten hin, das Gewachsene zu pflegen. Der Band ist aber auch ein Plädoyer für Neues, Grenzüberschreitendes; nicht zuletzt ist er ein Beitrag zur Diskussion um die europäische Verfassung und den Vertrag von Lissabon.

Setting out the historical national and religious characteristics of the Italians as they impact on the integration within the European Union, this study makes note of the two characteristics that have an adverse effect on Italian national identity: cleavages between north and south and the dominant role of family. It discusses how for Italians family loyalty is stronger than any other allegiance, including feelings towards their country, their nation, or the EU. Due to such subnational allegiances and values, this book notes that Italian civic society is weaker and engagement at the grass roots is less robust than one finds in other democracies, leaving politics in Italy largely in the hands of political parties. The work concludes by noting that EU membership, however, provides no magic bullet for Italy: it cannot change internal cleavages, the Italian worldview, and family values or the country’s mafia-dominated power matrix, and as a result, the underlying absence of fidelity to a shared polity—Italian or European—leave the country as ungovernable as ever.

Purism is an aspect of linguistic study which appeals not only to the scholar but also to the layperson. Somehow, ordinary speakers with many different mother tongues and with no formal training in linguistics share certain beliefs about what language is, how it develops or should develop, whether it has good or bad qualities, etc. The topic of linguistic purism in its many realisations is the subject of this volume of 19 articles selected from the contributions presented at a conference at the University of Bristol in 2003. In particular, the articles deal with the relationship of purism to historical prescriptivism, e.g. the influence of grammarians in the 17th and 18th centuries, to nationhood, e.g. the instrumentalising of purism in the standardisation of Afrikaans or Luxembourgish, to modern society, e.g. the existence of puristic tendencies in computer chatrooms, to folk linguistics, e.g. lay perceptions of different varieties of English, and to academic linguistics, e.g. the presence of puristic notions in the historiography of German or English.
