Pronunciation

Noun

informant (plural browser diversity)

  2. (linguistics) One who provides information about their language.
    • 1977, A. E. Kibrik, The methodology of field investigations in linguistics
      The only material the linguist has to begin with are the informant's grammatical utterances in the target language pronounced arbitrarily in a natural or assigned communicative situation or stimulated artificially by the investigator.
    • 2003, Sergei Nirenburg, H. L. Somers, Yorick Wilks, Readings in machine translation (page 116)
      The informant learns his language by formal training and, more importantly, by constant exposure to its use. He cannot repeat to the linguist what he has never seen or heard.
