substantivo

Contexto: "An acrolect, which is considered to be the most prestigious variety of a language, occurs on the grounds of social, political, and economic reasons. “Acrolects are better described as linguistic innovations characterized by the incorporation of linguistic features which have their origin in the contact situation itself. Unlike standard languages, acrolects usually have no overt set of linguistic norms and are pragmatically motivated (i.e. depend on the formality of the situation). In other words, the concept of the acrolect is both absolute (on the level of the speech community) and relative (on the level of the individual).""
