literary language

Rfv-sense: (sociolinguistics) A supraregional idiom; the language variety used as an institutionalized norm in a community; standard language, literary standard.

We need some evidence to support the definition, show that it is not SoP, and perhaps determine the context in which the term is not SoP. DCDuring (talk) 17:01, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

There are two references which confirm the sense. How can it be SoP if it doesn't refer to "language used in literary writing", as would be inferred from the meanings of its components? If anything, the first definition is SoP-like. 37.47.199.40 21:01, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

I cannot read the references that were given. If this definition is valid, we need some citations showing that it is used. Kiwima (talk) 21:04, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
