Neo-purism and the language policy of fascism

We note during fascism in Italy one important historic phase of the linguistic issue. This time it is linked with the revival of puristic trends, connected with the introduction of prescriptive language policy. It was puristically oriented (the so-called « state purism ») against dialects and against the national language minorities in Italy, but particularly against the presence of foreign-language elements. In this regard, we put stress particularly on the fact that those who in a different measure took part in these puristic regulatory interventions, were the most prominent linguists of those days, e.g. B. Migliorini, A. Schiaffini, G. Bertoni, etc. We pay special attention to the analysis of the core issue of the fascism language policy outlining the necessary theoretical picture, linked with the language policy and language planning. Within the inseparable integrity between the dynamics of the development of the society and the language dynamics, we emphasize to important interactions and the sociological factor functioning like language.

Keywords: neo-purism; fascism; language policy; language dynamics
