Descripción
Sumario:The concepts of variation, standardization and normalization are defined, adducing examples from different languages. These concepts are applied to Yucatec Maya, the book Normas de escritura para la lengua maya edited by Briceño Chel and Can Tec (2014) serving as a concrete and up-to-date example. In the critical discussion, it is shown what the purpose of standardization and what its theoretical basis is, which aspects of a language it applies to and how it is executed concretely. The discussion concludes with recommendations for the next edition of the Normas.
