Abstract

The printing press revolutionized language standardization by promoting uniformity in spelling, grammar, and vocabulary. It enabled the mass production of texts, often based on dominant regional dialects, and facilitated the spread of dictionaries and grammar guides. By elevating vernacular languages over Latin, the printing press fostered cultural identity and linguistic unity, leaving a lasting impact on communication and language development.
