The power point presentation that we can find in this site explains language standardization issues using graphics, pictures and real facts and data. It deals with some questions such as artificial language, neutrality, international standard language and prestige. This site is very interesting because it not only explains facts related to language standardization, but also compares and contrasts possibilities, ideas and some pros and cons in relation to the creation of a international standard language.
