The Implementation of Standard Macedonian is examinedhere as an ongoing process that can be defined in terms offive types of linguistic issues: (1) recurring, (2) remissive, (3) resolved, (4) new, and (5) nonsalient. Orthographie, phonological, morphological, syntactic, and lexical phenomena are all adduced as examples of these types of issue in the context of four linguistic environments — (1) dialectal, (2) Balkan, (3) Slavic (4) (Western) Great Power — and within a three-stage chronological framework — 1945-1950, 1950-1954, and 1954 onward, with subdivisions in thefirst and thirdstages (pre/post-1948 andpre/post-1988-1989, respectively). We conclude that, given the relative constancy ofcertain aspects of both the internal and external Macedonian linguistic environment, it is likely that debates over Implementation will continue. What is striking about the Macedonian case is the rapidity with which the basic outlines of the Standard were achieved and implemented. Although many issues remain open to contestation and manipulation, the fact remains that the Macedonian Standard language has been successfully implemented as the primary means of communication in the Republic of Macedonia
