diastratic variation Explanation: All the hits for "diastratia" appear to be Italian, or translations, so I don't believe it exists in English. Diastratic (Variation, study of variation) across different classes, or strata, in a society: including, therefore, variation between social dialects http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199675... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2021-02-03 17:06:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The word also exists in Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan. But on the first five pages of Google hits, it's not used anywhere by an English native speaker. |
