Heinz Kloss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Kloss (1904 – 1987) was a German linguist and internationally recognised authority on linguistic minorities ^[1].

He coined the terms "ausbausprache", "abstandsprache" and "dachsprache" to try and describe the differences in between what is commonly called a language and what is commonly called a dialect.
