Read the article. Then check (✓) the correct answers. ______________________________________ There are a number of special terms used to talk about different varieties of language. Among these are dialect, sociolect, pidgin, and creole. Dialect is often used to describe a language variety that is spoken in a particular geographical area. This variety has features that distinguish it from varieties spoken in other areas. Therefore, we can talk about American, British, and Australian dialects of English. The tool most often used by linguists to distinguish a dialect from a language is mutual intelligibility. That is, a language variety can be considered a dialect if it is understood (even with some difficulty) by a speaker of another variety of the language. If two speakers fail to understand each other, it is assumed they speak separate languages. Besides referring to a regional variety, dialect is used to describe the speech used by a particular social group. This type of dialect, also called a sociolect by linguists, often reflects divisions within a society based on socioeconomic status, race, or religion. For example, African American vernacular English is recognized as a dialect of American English because it differs from the standard variety in grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and rhetorical style. A pidgin is a type of language that arises when people of different languages come into contact with one another and need to communicate. They create a kind of intermediate language that takes features from both languages. Most often, the vocabulary of a pidgin is based on the new (imported) language, while the grammar reflects the local language, though greatly simplified and altered. For example, some pidgins are called English-based pidgins because their vocabulary is derived mainly from English. Pidgin languages are developed to serve a specific purpose, are usually used for a short time, and have no native speakers. A creole, on the other hand, is a pidgin that has become the native language of a group of people. A pidgin that is spoken over several generations will often develop into a creole. Jamaican is an example of a creole whose vocabulary is based mainly on English and has developed over a few hundred years. _____________________________________________________ Q: Mutual intelligibility means that ______________.

speakers of two varieties of a language understand each other

a language is spoken in two different cities

a person can speak at least two languages
