Criteria used to distinguish one type of language from another



Criteria used to distinguish one type of language from another (different types of language appearance):
  a. Standardization: a process by which a language is codified in some way (becoming more prestigious).
  b. Vitality: the existence of a living community of speakers (alive or dead language)
  c. Historicity: a particular group of people finds a sense of identity through using a particular language.
  d. Autonomy: a language is different from other languages.
  e. Reduction: a particular variety in a language may be regarded as a sub-variety rather than an independent entity.
f. Mixture: the feelings speakers have about the “purity” of the variety they speak
g. De facto norms: the feelings that many speakers have that there are both “good” speakers (representing the proper or best usage) and “poor” speakers (representing the other side).
