Abstract

The present paper examines standard language ideologies in Serbia and Poland. We look closely at the weight that standard language ideology carries in both nation-states by analyzing those languages which are not accorded the highest status: in Serbia – Bunjevac, and in Poland – Kashubian. We demonstrate how – in both Serbia and Poland – standard language ideology appears to be challenged on various grounds, yet it is almost indisputably enforced at the same time. In the end, we conclude that our examination contributes to the latest observations regarding the notion of language standardization, which appears to have been changing before our very eyes.
