This ideology of Modern Greek&lt;br&gt;as a regime language has become dominant after the official establishment of a&lt;br&gt;standard norm (demotic) and the resolution of the perennial “Greek&lt;br&gt;Language Question.” As it is evidenced by a host of “language issues” raised&lt;br&gt;in the Greek newspapers since 1976, relativism has determined what counted&lt;br&gt;as a “language issue” that was worth publishing, which language issues were&lt;br&gt;eligible for public debates, and the extent to which language issues were allowed&lt;br&gt;to penetrate “public opinion.”</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
