Linguistic purism is the belief or practice of preserving a language from foreign influences, particularly by avoiding loanwords, slang, or other changes perceived as corrupting. Advocates of linguistic purism often aim to maintain the language's traditional forms, grammar, and vocabulary, promoting its purity and authenticity. This movement can arise in response to globalization, cultural change, or the perceived threat of dominant languages. While linguistic purism can help protect cultural identity and heritage, it can also lead to resistance against natural language evolution and borrowing, which are common in language development.
