Normative description and linguistic standardization in the current linguistic policy framework - documents and reality

Abstract

V prispevku je pozornost usmerjena v problematiko jezikovne standardizacije oziroma njene faze, ki jo je treba vedno pogosteje posodabljati – jezikovne kodifikacije. Predstavljene so teoretske smernice in prikazana je kronologija normativistične dejavnosti na Slovenskem v 20. stoletju. Podrobneje je predstavljena sodobna jezikovna politika, ki kljub izkazanim interesom javnosti, potrebam pišočih, šolnikov, ne nameni temu področju pozornosti in financiranja, in to ne glede na obvezujoče dokumente, kot sta npr. Resolucija o nacionalnem programu za jezikovno politiko 2014–2018 in Akcijski načrt za jezikovno opremljenost, ki jih ministrstvo za kulturo oziroma služba za jezik redno naročata pri ekspertih, a jih ne udejanita. In the article, attention is drawn to the issue of language standardization, namely to one of its phases which must be updated increasingly often – language codifications. Theoretical guidelines are presented and the chronology of the prescriptive activities in Slovenia in the 20th century are shown. The language policy situation is presented in detail, as this area still lacks attention and funding, despite the expressed public interest and the needs of those who write and educate. The situation persists regardless of the binding documents, such as the Resolution on the National Programme for Language Policy 2014–2018 and the Action Plan for Language Infrastructure, which the Ministry of Culture, namely the Slovenian Language Service orders from the experts. They are, however, never realized.
