Haugen’s Model of Language Planning Process:
Form (policy planning) Function (language cultivation)
Society 1- Selection 3- Implementation
(Status planning) (Decision procedures)
a) Correction procedures
a) Problem identification b) Evaluation
b) Allocation of norms
Language 2- codification 4- elaboration
(Corpus planning) (Standardization procedures) (Functional developments)
a) Graphitization a) Terminological modernization
b) Grammatication b) Stylistic development
c) Lexicon c) Internationalization
1) Status planning:
a) Language selection b) Language Implementation:
Focuses on the development of Social concerns and Focuses on the adoption and
language policy social implementation spread of the language form that
involves the choice of of LP has been selected and codified
language(s) through its political Is done through the educational
leaders Monitor and evaluate the system and other laws and
selected language(s) establishes success of the strategies and regulations
the linguistic norm and gains the progress of the Specific measures are taken to
status in the society implementation strategy. implement the social aspect of a
language plan a.k.a. correction
Corpus planning:
Orthographic innovation Style
Primarily linguistic
Pronunciation Vocabulary expansion
aspects of LP
Changes in language structure Vocabulary preparation of
language material
Elaboration (functional
Codification development of language)
(standardization)
Codification:
the standardization procedures needed to develop and formalize a linguistic and literate set of
norms
performed by individuals with linguistic training who decide explicitly the linguistic form the
language is to take
Codification results in prescriptive orthography, grammar, and dictionaries.
o 3 Areas of Codification (Haugen, 1983)
Graphitization
looks into the writing systems which provide the basis on which literacy materials can be established and have
the potential to reduce the linguistic variation in a language community
Grammatication
Is the extraction and formulation of rules that describe how a language is structured.
Lexicon
refers to the selection and development of an appropriate lexicon, the assignment of styles and usage for
the words of the language
Elaboration:
focuses on the functional development of that language.
once a language has been codified, there is a need to continue the implementation of the norm to
meet the functions of a modern world
Elaboration will lead to modernization, stylistic development and internationalization of the
language.
