 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Semi-speaker. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2016. |
In linguistics, a rememberer is a person who knows individual words or phrases (sometimes entire texts) of a dying or dead language but cannot use the language productively. It is contrasted with fluent or full speakers, who have a good command of the language, and semi-speakers, who have a partial command of it.
The distinction between fluent speakers and rememberers is important in fieldwork, but accurately determining where a member of a language community falls on the speaker-rememberer continuum can be challenging.
