variety kind

The sociolinguistic classification(s) of a language variety — dialect, sociolect, register, idiolect, slang, standard, etc. NON-FUNCTIONAL: a single variety may carry multiple classifications from different standpoints simultaneously (Principle 9), and classifications change over time via new claims rather than overwrite (Principle 10).
