9786130210878: Linguistic Purism

Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Linguistic purism (or linguistic protectionism) is the definition of one language variety as purer than other varieties, often in reference to a perceived decline from an ideal past or an unwanted similarity with other languages, but sometimes simply to an abstract ideal. The decline may take the form of change of vocabulary, syncretism of grammatical elements, or loanwords. The unwanted similarity is often with a neighboring language whose speakers are culturally or politically dominant. The abstract ideal may invoke logic, clarity, or the grammar of "classic" languages. Linguistic purism is often presented as conservative, as a "protection" of a language from the "aggression" of other languages or of "conservation" of the national Volkgeist, but is often innovative in defining a new standard. Linguistic purism is sometimes part of governmental language policy which is enforced in various ways. It should not be confused with language revival/revitalization.
