Prescription and Tradition in Language - Establishing Standards Across Time and Space

This book crystallises key interrelationships between linguistic standardisation and prescriptivism, contextualising case studies across languages and cultures. It breaks new ground with its multilingual approach, helping to balance the otherwise strong emphasis on English in English language publications on prescriptivism.
