Chronolect

Last updated

In linguistics, a chronolect or temporal dialect is a specific speech variety whose characteristics are in particular determined by time-related factors. As such, it can be contrasted with a sociolect, an ethnolect or a geolect. [1] In historical linguistics, a chronolect is set more or less equal to a specific language stage. [2] Many chronolects are extinct or endangered.[ citation needed ]

The term has been used to describe newly formed political proverbs in Nigeria. [3]
