The contested role of standard varieties in Croatian minority contexts as an instance of language management from below

Departing from the idea that language management subsumes some kind of (metalinguistic) behavior towards language, the aim of the paper is to analyse the discursive treatment of „roof“ standard(s) in minority contexts within the framework of language management framework (Jernudd & Neustupný 1987, Nekvapil 2006). If and to what extent speakers perceive, evaluate and eventually (refuse to) modify (features from) their own linguistic repertoires are examined, and the link between the process of identity negotiation and language management is discussed.
