Ausbau Sociolinguistics and the Perception of Language Status in Contemporary Europe.
Trudgill, Peter
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, v2 n2 p167-77 1992
In investigating the degree to which minority languages are not recognized as separate languages by the majority culture, it is helpful to consider the distinction between abstand and ausbau languages. The distinction is also helpful in understanding other political and cultural problems concerning language versus dialect status in Europe. (five references) (JL)
