isogloss

Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. isim A line on a map indicating the geographical boundaries of a linguistic feature.

   “Bloch thinks (and we agree with him) that details of isogloss will probably not bear out this kind of grouping.”

2. isim A linguistic feature shared between languages or language varieties, through any of various mechanisms, whether genetic inheritance or other linguistic forces.

   “There was also a tendency to treat transitive verbs passively, as in Hurrian and Urarṭian; it must, however, be emphasized that this phenomenon may also be considered as an isogloss rather than as an indication of genetic relationship.”
