Prescriptivism, variability and stability

Abstract

Prispevek ob upoštevanju jezikovne spremenljivosti in stabilnosti obravnava preskriptivizem s petih vidikov. V uvodu je predstavljeno zgodovinsko ozadje osrednje teme - kodifikacije (intervencija, preskripcija itd.), katere začetki segajo v Italijo in Francijo. V nadaljevanju je predstavljena vloga govora v jeziku in njegovem razvoju, kot tudi neupoštevanje te vloge. Sledi razprava o preskriptivizmu in vzrokih za njegov nastanek (vključno s pomanjkanjem podatkov) z vidika nekaterih idej Praške šole. Le-ta je - v nasprotju z naravnim pojavom spremenljivosti jezika - obravnavana glede na odnos do tujih jezikovnih vplivov. Prispevek se nato dotakne nekaterih vprašljivih vidikov preskriptivističnega pristopa, zlasti njegove obsesije z obliko nasproti vsebini ali pomenu.

Secondary abstract:	The topic of prescriptivism, seen against the background of language variability and stability, is viewed here from five angles. By way of introduction, some historical background is given to the central topic of codification (intervention, prescription, etc.), tracing some of its roots to Italy and France. Following this, the role of the spoken language and its development, as well as its neglect, is discussed. This is followed by a discussion of prescriptivism and its causes (including lack of data) referring to some ideas of the Prague School. This, being contrasted to the natural phenomenon of language variability, is viewed in relation to foreign influences on a language. Finally, some questionable aspects of the prescriptivists' approach are discussed, in particular their obssession with form as against content or meaning.
