The term is usually capitalized.<br /> <br /> ===Synonym===<br /> *[[linguistic area]]<br /> <br /> ===Origin===<br /> The term ''Sprachbund'' was coined by [[Nicholas Trubetzkoy]] in a contribution to the 1928 International Congress of Linguists (Trubetzkoy 1930). Apparently it occurred earlier in Trubetzkoy (1923), in the Russian form ''jazykovoj sojuz'' (cf. Reiter 1991:52), but it became widely known only after 1928.<br /> <br /> ===References===<br /> *Reiter, Norbert. 1991. Ist der Sprachbund ein Werk des Satans?
