Features: Language is standardized in communication because it exists within communication. Some may disagree with this view, leading to different attitudes, principles, and methods toward standardization. It is not easy to understand people through speech, as there are many branches of linguistics. If one does not understand people through speech, it is also difficult to communicate effectively with them. To communicate well with this person or this group, it means good language communication. The purpose and principle of good language communication are to seek further cooperation. If cooperation is not possible or desired, even speech may cease. Speech implies the possibility of cooperation and seeking further collaboration. Language emerged for cooperation and developed to facilitate cooperation. This book attempts to provide a systematic exploration of the theory and practice of language standardization. The content of the book can be broadly divided into three parts.
Part 1 (Chapters 1-3) systematically reviews the gains and losses in language standardization over the past half-century, analyzing the evolution and characteristics of language use and language norms, as well as the existing problems. The aim is to "learn from history" with a focus on development.
Part 2 (Chapters 4-6) primarily explores theoretical issues, all of which are fundamental to language standardization. What are the starting point and destination of language standardization? What principles are the fundamental ones for language standardization? Only with this foundation can we better understand the relationship between language regulation and language change.
Part 3 (Chapters 7-9) examines some new phenomena that have long been controversial and reflect many deep-seated issues, enriching theory through practice, based on the preceding theoretical discussions. This part does not attempt to explore external factors such as social development or culture but focuses on the internal linguistic causes and the possibility of generation for these phenomena, primarily analyzing underlying factors from a semantic perspective. Perhaps only by understanding language structure itself can we better address criticisms of these linguistic phenomena and draw conclusions that are more operational.
