| Citazioni | An ‘L-simplex’ consists of any idiolect plus all other idiolects which are linked both to the first and (consequently) to each other. If we select an initial idiolect, and put with it all the idiolects we can find which are mutually intelligible both with the first one and with each other, the resulting set of idiolects constitutes what we shall call an ‘L-simplex’. |
