“…Corpus planning can be deined as those aspects of language planning which are primarily linguistic and, hence, internal to language [15]. Some of the example of these aspects that are related to language planning includes orthographic (the way in which words in a language are spelled) innovation, including design, harmonization, change of script and spelling reform; pronunciation; changes in language structure; vocabulary expansion; simpliication of registers; style and the preparation of language material [15].…”

This chapter has been compiled to provide an overview of the language policing and planning (LPP) ield, particularly for new researchers who would like to pursue their MA or PhD. It aims to explore the following: the genesis of LPP from the 1950s to date, type of research questions pertinent to the ield, methodology that can be applied, substantial literature review and case studies that have been carried out in LPP, ethnography of language policy and planning, the historical analysis approach and authorities in the ield of LPP such as Hornberger, Johnson and Ricento.Keywords: language policing and planning (LPP), ethnography, research instruments, historical analysis approach IntroductionLanguage policing and planning (LPP) is one of the fastest growing subdisciplines of applied linguistics [1]. The LPP ield was formed in the early 1960s by language scholars interested in solving the language problems of new, developing and/or post-colonial nations.As claimed by many to be the pioneer in the ield of LPP, it was Haugen who introduced the term language planning in 1959. Haugen deined language planning as "the activity of preparing normative orthography, grammar and dictionary for the guidance of writers and speakers in a non-homogenous speech community" [2]. What Haugen described was later categorized as status planning [3], corpus planning [3] and acquisition planning [4].

“…According to Haugen (1983), Corpus Planning is internal to language, i.e., it mainly involves its linguistic aspects. The latter are defined by Baldauf (1989) as: "(1) orthographic innovation, including design, harmonization, change of script, and spelling reform; (2) pronunciation; (3) changes in language structure; (4) vocabulary expansion; (5) simplification of registers; (6) style; and (7) the preparation of language material" (p. 11). Graphization signifies the elaboration, adaptation, and selection of scripts and orthographic forms for a language.…”

The linguistic influence of the Korean Wave (Hallyu, which refers to the Korean pop and drama) on the language of International fans is that of a salient but not linguistically examined phenomenon. This study investigates the major aspects of this influence and the linguistic reasons behind its global prevalence. The practical part of this study is conducted on Algerian Hallyu fans from which a sample of 139 participants responded to the questionnaire used as a research instrument for achieving the goal of this study. Findings reveal that Hallyu influence is widely spread in Algeria, where by 98.5% of the participants declared the existence of this influence. This impact on participants' language starts from using Korean words in their daily discourse to using English words with an adapted Hallyu meaning and to naming phone contacts with the accurate Korean terms of kinship and endearment. Then, they start using linguistically odd inside jokes taken from Korean idols' and K-dramas' speech, employing Korean proverbs in their conversations, and gradually adopting a different pronunciation of some English sounds. Moreover, their language stands as a sample of Corpus Planning with two types: Modernization and Graphization. Some words are modernized in order to bridge the gap through Hallyu pals' communication with more precise words, while other words are graphitized for the sake of developing new terms or new meanings or to shorten long ones. This thesis contributes to the study of fandom language, generally, and to Hallyu language, specifically, as an aspect of Conversation Analysis (CA).

“…On an even more sinister note, uninformed and unfeeling prescriptivism in language planning can also lead to a tendency to seek to "reduce all linguistic functions in a polity to one language" (Kaplan 1990:7-8), and to use the need to standardize a language at a national level to meet economic and political goals as an argument to eliminate community languages (Cobarrubias 1983a;Baldauf 1990). Faulty description and prescriptivist purposes have also obscured the fact that languages of wider communication in their early stages of development often exhibit a great deal of tolerance for idiolectal variation and inventiveness.…”

This paper considers the apparent paradox underlying the aims of linguists who attempt to influence, deliberately and systematically, the linguistic behavior of a community, while trying to avoid charges of prescriptivism. The strongly normative nature of traditional grammar is compared to the linguistic relativism that has characterized much recent sociolinguistic work, and a compromise is seen as unavoidable because language planning cannot and should not be value-free. The need for rapid modernization in emerging nations requires that linguistic behavior not be left entirely to natural forces. Descriptivist linguists have a role to play in this process provided they do not associate with morally reprehensible governmental projects. A balance must and can be achieved between promoting viable economic units and preserving linguistic diversity. In collaboration with social scientists and government authorities, linguists are uniquely qualified for carrying out the language planning task successfully.
