STANDARDS AND NORMS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE GEB...

The theme of this collection is a discussion of the notions of 'norms' and 'standards'  which
are studied from various different angles  but always in relation to the English language.
These terms are to be understood in a very wide sense  allowing discussions of topics such as
the norms we orient to in social interaction  the benchmark employed in teaching  or the
development of English dialects and varieties over time and space and their relation to the
standard language. The collection is organized into three parts  each of which covers an
important research field for the study of norms and standards. Part 1 is entitled English over
time and space and is further divided into three thematic subgroups: standard and non-standard
features in English varieties and dialects  research on English standardization processes  and
issues of standards and norms in oral production. Part 2 deals with English usage in non-native
contexts  and Part 3 is dedicated to Issues on politeness and impoliteness. The notions of
standards and norms are equally important concepts for historical linguists  sociolinguists
with a variationist background  applied linguists  pragmaticians  and discourse analysts.
