Standardization of language

This is an interesting site because it shows another aspect of standardization which is not related to the socio-economical perspective. In this hort text, the author defends standardization as a form to create a preventive structure in order to keep cultural assimilation far from the “natural” language. It can be considered a purist point of view, and sometimes it sounds like prejudice.
