| Citazioni | […] it makes sense to speak of an ‘overall pattern’ for any set of idiolects which are in direct or indirect contact with each other and which contain a common core. The overall pattern includes everything that is in the repertory of any idiolect, productively or receptively. It includes, […], more than does any one idiolect, while any one idiolect includes, […], more than does the common core. |
