ABSTRACT The Kven language that is spoken in northernmost Norway was officially recognized as a language in 2005. The history of the language community dates back to the sixteenth century according to tax books. There is still an ongoing discussion among certain language users, whether Kven is in fact a language or one of the Finnish dialects. The language planning of Kven has started in 2007 by determining the orthography and choosing principles for the standardization. This article discusses the history of the process that led to the recognition of Kven as a language and reviews the progress of the language standardization until the present. The principles of language planning are reviewed through document analysis – earlier literature, minutes or summaries and participant observation of the language board’s meetings, and expert interviews – and analysed according to Lars S. Vikør’s language planning model. Some of the preferred features seem to follow the language planning ideology of the Norwegian standards – Bokmål and Nynorsk – in terms of allowance of variation and parallel forms as well as dialectal diversity.

通过语料库规划维护语言——以 Kven 为例

摘要 挪威最北端使用的克文语于 2005 年被正式承认为一种语言。根据税务书籍，该语言社区的历史可以追溯到 16 世纪。某些语言用户之间仍在持续讨论 Kven 究竟是一种语言还是芬兰方言之一。Kven 的语言规划始于 2007 年，通过确定正字法和选择标准化的原则。本文讨论了导致 Kven 被认可为一种语言的过程的历史，并回顾了迄今为止语言标准化的进展。语言规划的原则通过文件分析进行审查——早期的文献、会议记录或摘要以及语言委员会会议的参与者观察，和专家访谈——并根据 Lars S. Vikør 的语言规划模型进行分析。在允许变化和平行形式以及方言多样性方面，一些首选功能似乎遵循挪威标准的语言规划意识形态 - Bokmål 和 Nynorsk。
