        I generally interpret that as "I learned it from [Some Person]'s version" or "I play it in the style of [Some Person]" . I would put it in the annotation if anything.

      • kepstin-laptop
        not setting a language doesn't make sense tho; that means that it's unknown. but we know that it's not a proper language.
      • 2012-10-15 28937, 2012

      • Freso
        kepstin-laptop: However, it does have linguistic content but it is not a language. Not setting it means it's unset, not unknown. If we want to mark it as unknown, that should be a specific entry in the list.

        it connotes nothing.. it's a substitute for an absent linguistic content.. therefor i wouldn't ascribe it any linguistic properties. at least thats my opinion as a layman.

        CallerNo6: if the dots from the screen are too big, it's sometimes helpful to do a small blur and downscale first

        CatCat: did that make sense to you? That there's a difference between "no language" and "no linguistic content"? So for instance, if Robert Plant had sung "blah blah blah-blah-blah-blah" in The Ocean it would have meant something different. And been more fun.

        CallerNo6: I'm sorry I haven't really been paying attentino to that conversation. but I agree there's a differnce between "not a language" and "not langauge"
