Language standardization is problematic because it imposes the
dominant group’s linguistic variety as the only correct one and
promotes the idea of unit thinking, i.e., seeing the world as
consisting of bounded, internally homogeneous units. This volume
examines intentional practices to subvert such processes of language
standardization (what we call counter-standardization practices) in
language education and other contexts. By suggesting alternative
classroom pedagogies, language reclamation processes for indigenous
populations, and discourses about (mis)pronunciation, this volume
explores more liberatory approaches: the post-unit thinking of
language.
