	Idiolect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Depending on who you ask, either idiolects are derived from abstract, standardized language ideas, defended by "authorities" (such as dictionary editors), or languages are congruences of idiolects and thus exist only in the intersection between individual speakers.
		The second sense of the idiolect has become a base for investigating language evolution on a genetic model: the existence of the species (individual language) is extrapolated from a multitude of organisms (idiolects) with common features.
		Idiolects, however, have such a large capacity for change, particularly in the current era with increasing contact between many different people, that the systematic aspects of language that are the traditional arena of linguistic study are constantly in flux.

		That is to say, sometimes (and sometimes not) idiolects follow the established rules/tendancies of the language and dialect.
		Idiolects in their finest form are postconventional, and are pure poetry.
		A voice, an idiolect, is necessarily a part of a dialect (necessarily part of a language).

	Idiolects
		An idiolect, if there is such a thing, is a language that can be characterised exhaustively in terms of intrinsic properties of some single person at a time, a person whose idiolect it is at that time.
		Some think that this notion of an idiolect is unstable, and instead use ‘idiolect’ to describe a person's incomplete or erroneous grasp of their language, where this latter is inherently social.
		An idiolect is simply the result of slimming down still further to arrive at the language that, stipulatively, is somehow realized in a single individual at a particular time.

		seems to me idiolect is very hard to study systematically, cuz there's so much variation due to individual experience/social groups/idiosyncracies...a lotta variability is averaged out (or assumed away) when looking at more macro-level stuff...
		Idiolects were never given much attention back in my day - and I believe the thinking was that, by definition, idiolects would be difficult to characterize because they didn't systematically match existing patterns of speech.
		Essentially, as soon as there was a pattern detected, their "idiolecticity" disappeared - and they became dialects or sociolects.

		Idiolect embraces the textual, auditory and subvocal traits of 'uttering,' the term used here to describe a language act viewed independently of output.
		An idiolect that reveals itself in linguistic traits, mental imagery, emotions, and even averbal reasoning might be termed a cognitive style.
		Idiolect blends lexis, syntax, semantics, sounds, images, and feelings that arise from choice, habit, and the faint traces of unattended priming.

		Helzle's main purpose is to show that a speaker in Roman epic often has her or his own voice consisting of various rhetorical, metrical or other devices that characterise that individual and distinguish her or him from other characters.
		Combining the American flare for theory with the methodical approach of German scholarship, Helzle proceeds to explore the ways in which a character's manner of speaking, or 'idiolect', relates to other aspects of his or her characterisation.
		The relationship between a speaker's idiolect and the epic circumstances is extremely problematic.

		Four groups of idiolects have been differentiated on the basis of the data.
		The duration of vowels in the stressed and unstressed syllables is quasi-equal in the idiolects that have no reduction; in the idiolects that use reduced and full vowels in non-initial unstressed syllables, the duration of the initial stressed vowel is longer.
		The results of acoustic analysis proved to overlap with those of the auditory analysis of the assignment of initial/non-initial stress in the idiolect groups.

		Idiolect: Another term that we must be familiar with is idiolect.
		An idiolect is simply the technical term we use to refer to the variety of language spoken by each individual speaker of the language.
		A dialect is a particular variety of a language that differs noticeably from the variety or varieties of the same language spoken by another group or groups of people.

		Whereas "tongue", "language", "idiom" and "dialect" are phenomena relating to groups, "idiolect" is the variety of form of a language used by a particular individual: that person's own idiosyncrasies in their use of their own language.
		Idiolect is the codes that every person has, let's say their own "tongue" or "lengua" and given that different idiolects we cannot say that a message emitted by one person will reach the other such as it had been emitted.
		On rethinking, it seems to me that "metaphor", "simile", "proverb", and "cliché" all belong inside the "language=idioma" circle along with "dialect", "idiom", and "idiolect", but that all of these circles (the inner ones along with the outer ones) overlap and interweave to such a degree that "it fair makes my head spin thinking about it"...
