[Lexicog] Sprachgefuhl

[Fritz Goerling]

Scott,

 

I wonder how you define “Sprachgefühl.” That would help me to answer your
question.

I also wonder why certain words are borrowed from other languages. English
has not 

borrowed “Ballgefühl” which exceptional players of games have where a ball
plays a role 

(Diego Maradona, Tiger Woods, Rafael Nadal). How would one say “Ballgefühl”
in English?

 

Fritz Goerling

Is this the wrong list to ask whether, in your opinion or research, 
Sprachgefuhl varies most by class, region, or level of education?
