Language Variety
What is it and what are its
categories?
 Language Variety
language variety—also called lect—is a general term for
any distinctive form of a language or linguistic
expression.

Linguists commonly use language variety as a cover term

for any of the overlapping subcategories of a language,
including dialect, register, pidgin and creole.
Language variety refers to the various forms of
language triggered by social factors.
