“…The aim was to create a one-volume descriptive dictionary of the Estonian language. This decision was inspired by examples such as the Oxford English Dictionary and Duden Deutsches Universalwörterbuch (Langemets et al 2010). However, in the 2010s, it became evident that the contemporary needs could be better met with an online dictionary due to its capacity for constant updates (Langemets et al 2018).…”

“…The data from different corpora have been used in Estonian descriptive lexicography and linguistics for decades (seeEKSS 2009: 5;Langemets et al 2018; however, it needs to be noted that earlier corpora consisted of much less data from fewer types of texts than contemporary corpora). The tradition to systematically analyzing corpus data in Estonian language planning and prescriptive lexicography began more or less in the late 2010s.…”

Recommendations for the meanings of words by Estonian language planning – justified and necessary, or not?

On the example of Estonian language planning, this research paper explores whether it is justified and necessary to give recommendations for the meanings of words. The focus is on the general language. Technical language is out of the scope of this research. First, a brief overview of the history of Estonian language planning and the development of Standard Estonian, as well as the current situation is provided. Then the paper focuses on recent research on the meanings of words in Estonian. The purpose was to revise the recommendations for the meanings of words by Estonian language planning. The research is based on the common approaches in Estonian linguistics today – the usage-based linguistics and corpus linguistics. The paper argues that recommendations by language planning for the meanings of words are not justified nor necessary in the general language, even if some explanations on the choice of words are relevant (e.g., for offensive words).

“…In the 2010s, following the example of other European languages, after publishing a multi-volume explanatory dictionary, the Institute of Estonian Language (EKI) started compiling a single-volume dictionary based on corpus data (Langemets et al 2010). In the course of this work in the 2010s, it was understood that the needs of the present day are better met by an online dictionary that can be continuously updated (Langemets et al 2018). Thus, when one round of updating of the data was completed, the dictionary was published on a new language portal Sõnaveeb ('WordWeb') in 2019.…”

Language ideologies and beliefs about language in Estonia and Estonian language planning

Throughout Estonian history, the language ideologies prevailing in Europe have had great influence on Estonian language planning. Language planners, in turn, have influenced the views of Estonian society. In this paper we analyse how language ideologies have supported myths and beliefs throughout the history of cultivating Standard Estonian. The privileged status of Standard Estonian (compared to local dialects) strengthened considerably from the early 20th century. Although Estonian language planning became more tolerant and democratic since the 1980s, a totalitarian understanding of the language still remains in the background. Using foreign words and the mixing of languages and registers is considered especially objectionable due to the ideology of a small nation, which has to defend itself and its language. In the 2020s, discussions about language change and the principles of language planning re-emerged. These have been interesting, because language planning wishes to make the “top-down” language norms of Standard Estonian closer to actual language use, while language maintenance experts still see any potential changes as a threat to the Estonian language and even the nation. Kokkuvõte. Liina Lindström, Lydia Risberg, Helen Plado: Keeleideoloogiad ja uskumused keele kohta Eestis ja eesti keelekorralduses. Euroopas valitsevad keeleideoloogiad on aja jooksul eesti keelekorraldusele suurt mõju avaldanud. Keelekorraldajad on omakorda mõjutanud eesti ühiskonnas valitsevaid arusaamu. Artiklis analüüsime, kuidas keeleideoloogiad on alates 19. sajandist toetanud müüte ja uskumusi eesti kirjakeele kohta. 20. sajandi algul tugevnes kirjakeele staatus (võrreldes kohalike murretega) järsku, samuti süvenes hoiak, et on olemas „õige“ ja „vale“ keel. Kuigi eesti keelekorraldus muutus alates 1980. aastatest leebemaks ja demokraatlikumaks, on taustal püsinud siiski totalitaarne arusaam keelest. Võõrsõnu ja keelte ning registrite segamist peetakse eriti halvaks ideoloogia tõttu eestlastest kui väikesest rahvast, kes on pidanud ja peab ennast ja oma keelt pidevalt kaitsma. 2020. aastatel järjekordselt esile kerkinud uued arutelud on huvitavad, sest keelekorraldus soovib norminguid hoida tegeliku keelekasutusega kooskõlas, kuid keeletoimetajad ja õpetajad näevad võimalikke muudatusi ohuna nii eesti keelele kui isegi rahvusele. Niisiis on pika aja jooksul levinud keeleideoloogiad eestlastes tugevalt juurdunud.

Eesti keelekorralduse traditsioon normida õigekeelsussõnaraamatuga (ÕS) üldkeele sõnade tähendusi on pikalt kujundanud ühiskonna arusaama (eesti) keele toimimisest. Alates 1980. aastatest on keelekorralduses sõnade tähendusi normimise asemel „leebemalt“ suunatud, neid kirjakeelde sobimatuks peetud ja nende kohta soovitusi antud (mh ÕSides 1999–2018). Artiklis anname ülevaate eesti keele sõnatähenduste normimise ajaloost üldisemalt alates 19. sajandi teisest poolest, analüüsides olulisemaid keelekorraldusega seotud väljaandeid. Teeme üldistusi ja järeldusi sõnatähenduste normimise kohta, tuginedes oma varasemale sõnatähendustega seotud uurimistööle: kasutuspõhise keeleteooria ja korpuslingvistika süvenemisega eesti keeleteaduses on ka keelekorralduses jõutud arusaamale, et tähendused ei püsi sõnaraamatus kinni: (uue) tähenduse kasutusse jäämine sõltub keelesisestest ja -välistest teguritest, mitte ÕSist. Abstract. Lydia Risberg, Margit Langemets: Breaking the tradition of standardizing word meanings in Estonian language planning. The tradition of the Estonian language planning to standardize the meanings of general language through the formal Dictionary of Standard Estonian (DSE) has long influenced society’s understanding of how (Estonian) language works. Since the 1980s, instead of standardizing the meanings, the language planning has been more “lenient”, considering certain meanings inappropriate for the standard language and making recommendations on them (e.g. in the DSE 1999–2018). In this article, we will give an overview of the history of the standardization of word meanings in the Estonian language planning since the second half of the 19th century, analyzing the most important publications related to it. We draw generalizations and conclusions about the standardization of meanings based on our earlier research on word meanings: with the deepening of usage-based linguistics and corpus linguistics in Estonian linguistics, the understanding has been reached in language planning that meanings do not remain fixed in the dictionary: the (new) meaning’s survival in use depends on internal and external factors, not on the formal DSE.
