Talk:Linguistic separatism

Disputed
Linguistic separatism refers to the attempts of linguists or politicians to create an independent language from a dialect by splitting off the written language.

This could be confusing and needs rewording. The lack of a distinction between a language and a dialect should be noted, "standardised" might be a better word than "independent" maybe? Otherwise very neutral, presents both sides well. - FrancisTyers 03:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Merging language secessionism and linguistic separatism
Here a few suggestions:
 * Let's redirect linguistic separatism toward language secessionism. The latter title is more widely used and conceptualized in sociolinguistics, since it has received a large amout of academic litterature, especially from the Catalan Countries.
 * Le'ts copy the short, current contents of the article about linguistic separatism and let's paste it in the beginning of the long article about language secessionism, and let's name this new beginning section "General features".
 * Let's give the references and sources requested in this "General features" section. It will be quite easy. I can manage it.--Aubadaurada 11:37, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree and have done this. - Francis Tyers · 09:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
