Definition

A narrative or description providing details about an activity in which an actor (social group, organisation, or person) uses a specified language.

Description

Examples could include a description stating that the language used during a specified activity is chanted or recited, rather than spontaneous or conversational; or that the language a tribe uses for religious activity is archaic compared to the language used for everyday activities (for example, the Latin Mass in Roman Catholicism); or that terrorists may use language as a code or security buffer.
