Explanation
The visible coexistence of different languages or linguistic varieties within a text or discourse. Translation does not completely smooth out the boundary; different voices and affiliations remain audible in the same space.
Example
Atlas example: Translation does not completely smooth over the boundary; different voices and affiliations remain audible in the same space.
Counterexample
Mere similarity of form without the relationship characteristic of heterolinguality.
Distinction
Distinguishing from code-switching: What is decisive in heterolinguality is the specific movement—translation does not completely smooth over the boundary; different voices and affiliations remain audible in the same space.
Effect on thought and perception
Translation does not completely smooth over the boundary; different voices and affiliations remain audible in the same space.
Resonance
Heterolinguality renders the relationship perceptible as a directed transformation: Translation does not completely smooth over the boundary; different voices and affiliations remain audible in the same space.
