Idiolect
(also called individual language), the linguistic habits of a given individual in a particular time period. Such linguistic phenomena as the various speech communities— professional, social, and territorial dialects and jargons—are formed on the basis of the aggregate of idiolects unified by a relationship of mutual comprehension. The idiolect is a conventional concept, since the same person, as a rule, uses different linguistic means in different situations of communication. Researchers in logopedics are investigating the individual idiolects of aphasiacs. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

But I took them for answers which would have made Big Maxie's appeal to emotion an idiolectic quirk -- an unusual and wholly personal habit of speech In those early days of learning, it seemed that Big Maxie was the only person I knew who would attribute hurt feeling(s) to people of the Darwin fringe camp that served me as my base. The association of "names" with "sacred pages," which appears elsewhere in Kovner's corpus and is therefore idiolectic, refers to the term "Shemoth," a Jewish folk-expression denoting the torn and worn-out pages of Holy Books which are not to be discarded but preserved in each synagogue's geniza. |
