metalanguage

Metalanguage (1943).

Standard distinction, applied to linguistics by Danish linguist Louis Hjelmslev (1899-1965).

Also discussed by Roman Jakobson (1896-1982).

Language about language: metalanguage is a system of notation, descriptive terms, and so on, for an ‘object language’. Metalanguage may be related to natural language – terms like ‘passive’, ‘auxiliary’ -or an abstract notation as in symbolic logic.
