<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE>Hi everybody ,
While teaching today Stewards' (1963) language typologies , I discovered that he made a kind of difference between vernacular and dialect , but in 2011 , do you think that there is any difference between such concepts .
For ease of use , I consider them as equals in meanings so am I wrong?
