| Citazioni | In one sense of ‘a language’, X is said to be a language if it is distinct to some specified degree from all other languages, i.e., X and Y are two languages if they differ beyond a certain criterion (e.g., of structural similarity, shared historical change, mutual intelligibility, or speaker’s attitudes); otherwise they are varieties of one language. |
