This collection examines language standardization as a dynamic, lived practice that is initiated, assessed, implemented or challenged through a range of interconnected social interactions occurring at both micro and macro levels.

The volume explores how standardization, commonly understood as organized activities of particular social groups to advance language development goals, can be discursively contested in everyday social life. The book interrogates the connections between standardization process reflected in the simple management of everyday speakers and organized management at the institutional level across different dimensions. Chapters are grouped accordingly around key thematic connection points: language, identity and social justice; education and globalization; technologies and new media; and language consulting and codification. Taken together, the collection provides unique insights into the gradual development of language standardization processes across societal levels, offering the view of standardization as lived practice.
