Linguist Shorts
Description: When linguists talk about the historical relationship between languages, they use a tree metaphor. An ancient source (say, Indo-European) has various branches (e.g., Romance, Germanic), which themselves have branches (West Germanic, North Germanic), which feed into specific languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian). A language family is a group of languages related through descent from a common ancestral language or parental language, called the proto-language of that family. The term "family" reflects the tree model of language origination in historical linguistics, which makes use of a metaphor comparing languages to people in a biological family tree.
Description: Caesar non supra grammaticos is a Latin phrase that means “Cesar has no power over grammarians.” It originally evoked the limits that a ruler naturally has, but now can be used to express the importance of good grammar and spelling.
