5.2.10. Language Management versus Language Planning

Language management involves recording, storing and disseminating terminology without interfering in its development. Language management plays an important role in the collection and dissemination of standardized terminology.

Language planning is the intervention into language to either create new terminology to fill gaps in a language (as in the case of domain loss) or to encourage the growth and development of a language. Terminology standardization supports language-planning efforts and facilitates the implementation of the new terminology.
