- STANDARDISATION
- Long process, approx. during later part of 1700s.
- Evidence of pre-standardisation or emerging standardisation - language was developing.
- Non-standard orthography and syntax.
- Capitalisation.
- Changes to punctuation.
- Different verb forms/pluralisation.
- Use of long S, which became redundant as printing press became more widely used.
- Standardisation attempted to fix rules, via dictionaries, grammar books, etc.
- Made writing the prestige form, separate from speech.
- Mass schooling helped standardisation to progress.
- Question about dictionaries/language change - can be seen as prescriptivist and descriptivist.
- Move from printed to online dictionaries.
