This post is for somebody in my sociolinguistics class.

If anybody can help, that'd be nice, but I think I've got a handle on it.

And Lizziey? I don't think my sociolinguistics prof has my phone number, so don't scare me like that next time.

Diglossic seems to mean "a situation in which there is no dialect continuum between the standard language and the creole", such as when the languages are spoken by VERY different (and separate) groups of people, or only in VERY different (and separate) situations.

*frowns over this*

well i'm not in your sociolinguistics class, but i'm not sure that a diglossia necessarily has to be between a standard language and a creole, though that is a common arrangement...
