Corpus planning

Corpus planning is a part of language planning that involves actively developing and organizing a language's structure, vocabulary, and rules to meet societal needs. It includes creating dictionaries, standardizing grammar, and promoting consistent usage of words and language forms. This process helps ensure the language remains functional, official, and accessible for education, government, and communication. Essentially, corpus planning shapes the language’s written and spoken form to support its stability, clarity, and growth within a community or nation.
