The content of Usus was merged into Usage (language) on 31 Aug 2022. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

edupedia.pl (merged from Talk:Usus)

This article cites a web source at edupedia.pl. I do not speak Polish, but it appears to me that the source consists of user-generated content (note the "Edytuj" buttons on the page). Could some Polish reader verify whether the cite seems to fit the WP:Reliable sources guideline? Cnilep (talk) 01:35, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Plugged in two more serviceable sources. Nama.Asal (talk) 14:52, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with Usus

The article stub Usus contains some information that might be of interest here but provides it under a lemma that – to my knowledge (and I would call myself a sociolinguist) – is not used in English at all. (The references given are all Polish and Czech, plus one article written in English by a Latvian linguist claiming that the term usus had been used by a Danish and a German linguist and was not used in Latvian anymore.) Therefore I will transfer some of the content of Usus to Usage (language) and make Usus a redirect to Usage (language). --Daniel Bunčić (de wiki · talk · en contrib.) 05:45, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
