Language and Dialect
- Linguists' Definition: mutual intelligibility
- Ausbau and Abstand languages
- The Ideal and the Real
- Illustrations of the gradual transition from two non-Abstand languages (German and Dutch) that are both definitely Ausbau languages: the case of Limburg dialect.
- Illustration of the total lack of congruence between what Serbs call "Serbian" and what Croats call "Croatian" and the dialect features that can be discerned about this language.
