Germanic Standardizations Past to Present, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Amsterdam , 2003,
ISBN: 90-272-1856-0, pp. 303-329В статье на английском языке рассматривается процесс стандартизации люксембургского языка.Compared to the high level of standardization of German or English, Luxembourgish is today still at a relatively early stage of the standardization process (cf. Kramer 1994). After a summary of the sociohistorical background of Luxembourg's multilingual speech community in section one, section two deals with the process of norm selection, focusing mainly on macro-sociolinguistic developments such as the emancipation of Luxembourgish as a language in its own right, dialect levelling and the increased use of Luxembourgish as a written language. Section three concentrates on aspects of the current process of codification, and finally, in section four issues of norm elaboration and acceptance will be discussed.
