| Citazioni | The feature 'standardization' has to do with whether a language possesses an agreed set of codified norms which are accepted by the speech community and form the basis for teaching of it either as first or second language. Codification has to have taken place and be accepted before a language can be said to be standardized. Standardization is a feature which is imposed on a language and not inherent in it, and may take place at any time. |
