    Killer language → Language death

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    ‘Killer language’ is a critical metaphor for pressures that displace another language. Language death concerns the end of living use and transmission. Explaining a specific case requires evidence of which domains of use were lost, how transmission changed and which actors contributed to the change.
