Omschrijving
'The overall presentation is excellent, and each chapter is accompanied by a most useful comprehensive bibliography … The volume is to be recommended very highly to all colleagues with an interest in sociolinguistics, as well as to postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students looking for an introduction to general and specific issues relating to language standardization.' Martin Durrell, Journal of Historical Sociolinguistics
'The overall presentation is excellent, and each chapter is accompanied by a most useful comprehensive bibliography … The volume is to be recommended very highly to all colleagues with an interest in sociolinguistics, as well as to postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students looking for an introduction to general and specific issues relating to language standardization.' Martin Durrell, Journal of Historical Sociolinguistics
'In their introduction, the editors Wendy Ayres-Bennett and John Bellamy mention that the “rich diversity of approaches to linguistic standardization is at once stimulating and challenging” (p. 2). Reviewing the handbook, I have found that they met this challenge in an excellent way. The 29 chapters in total fully cover the kaleidoscopic diversity of the field with contributions dealing with a broad range of languages from various time periods (even more languages than explicitly mentioned in this review). The chapters are well written by renowned experts (their names are omitted within the word limits of the present review) and offer elaborate references for further exploration. The Cambridge Handbook of Language Standardization definitely is a most welcome 'landmark in the study of language standardization' (cover quote) and an indispensable tool for researchers and students interested in linguistic standardisation.' Marijke van der Wal, Language & History
Wendy Ayres-Bennett is Professor of French Philology and Linguistics at the University of Cambridge. She is Principal Investigator on the AHRC funded multi-disciplinary research project, Multilingualism: Empowering Individuals, Transforming Societies. John Bellamy is Lecturer in Linguistics, Manchester Metropolitan University. He has published extensively on language policy, youth linguistic practices, language attitudes and ideologies.
