Societal Ideology and Language Cultivation: The Case of Swedish

Dahlstedt, Karl-Hampus

Linguistics, 183, 17-50, Dec 76

Language cultivation includes any activity aimed consciously at influencing a language so that it improves or does not deteriorate. Three dilemmas face Swedish language cultivators: (1) the complexity of societal ideology; (2) the complexity of language itself as a social institution; (3) the balance between social integration and individual integrity.
