| Citazioni | The eliciting of forms from an informant has to be planned with care because of suggestibility in certain interpersonal and intercultural ralations and because it may not always be possible for the informant to say whether a form which is proposed by the linguist occurs in his language. At its most innocent, eliciting consists of devising situations in which the form in question is likely to occur in the informant’ s speech. |
