[edit] Ultrapurism

Google give s 4 hits [1], invented word. Why not Megapurism?. feydey 19:29, 1 September 2005 (UTC) feydey 19:29, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. For now. Let's see if this can be expanded upon. DV8 2XL 19:44, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete--this seems like a neologism. I might change my vote, if notable citations were provided in the literature that deals with this sort of thing (presumably linguistics). Meelar (talk) 20:24, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Linguistic purism --Outlander 20:48, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

You can add "ultra" to almost any noun, that doesn't make it a new word. --Outlander 20:51, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

• My name is Timbur-Helgi Hermannsson, neologistic poet of the High Icelandic language movement. There are different terms for linguistic purism that are used by linguists but you can't find them in encyclopedias. there's regressive purism, which means that very old loan-words are replaced (very rare form), revolutionary purism is when a large part of the vocabulary in a language is replaced by neologisms in a very short time (The only example is the Turkish language reform lead by Kemal atatûrk). trimming purism is a terminvented by the linguist George thomas. It designates languages that sometimes undergo a puristic wave when the influence of other languages is threatening. These are no established terms. But Ultrapurism is a clear description of what High Icelandic is about. There is no better term for it. The members of the High Icelandic langauge council use the Icelandic translation of ultrapurism (málgjörhreinsun).

If the page is merged it will still exist, just as part of a larger topic - --Outlander 18:05, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
