Editing Solecism (section)

==Etymology==
The word originally was used by the Greeks for what they perceived as grammatical mistakes in their language.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Filion|first=Charles A.|title=Differences Between English Poetics and Sanskrit Poetics|date=January 2015 |url=https://www.academia.edu/44767114}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/solecism|title=solecism (n.)|author=<!--Not stated-->|date=2023-08-29|website=Online Etymology Dictionary|access-date=2023-09-07|language=en-US}}</ref> Ancient [[Ancient Athens|Athenians]] considered the dialect of the inhabitants of [[Soli, Cilicia]] to be a [[Corruption (grammar)|corrupted]] form of their pure [[Attic Greek|Attic]] dialect and labelled the errors in the form as "solecisms" ([[Greek language|Greek]]: σολοικισμοί, ''soloikismoí''; sing.: σολοικισμός, ''soloikismós''). Therefore, when referring to similar grammatical mistakes heard in the speech of Athenians, they described them as "solecisms" and that term has been adopted as a label for grammatical mistakes in any language; in Greek there is often a distinction in the relevant terms in that a mistake in [[semantics]] (i.e., a use of words with other-than-appropriate meaning or a [[neologism]] constructed through application of generative rules by an outsider) is called a ''barbarism'' ({{lang|el|βαρβαρισμός}} ''barbarismos''), whereas ''solecism'' refers to mistakes in syntax, in the construction of sentences.<ref>{{LSJ|soloikismo/s|σολοικισμός|ref}}.</ref>
