Definitions

  1. A boundary line marking where a linguistic feature is used.

Word origin

From iso- + gloss, ultimately from Ancient Greek ἴσος (ísos, “equal”) (possibly from Proto-Indo-European *wi- (“to separate”)) + γλῶσσα (glôssa, “tongue; language”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *glōgʰs).

Used in a sentence

  • Bloch thinks (and we agree with him) that details of isogloss will probably not bear out this kind of grouping.
  • The convergence of multiple isoglosses on a map, a "bundle", indicates a boundary between one regional dialect and another.
