Is he aware of more than one possible pronunciation in his own and/or other idiolects?
The idiolect, like all other language varieties, is a fiction.
But the idiolect too, or especially, is a fiction.
In the twice-recorded idiolects, there have been, on the average, slight movements to this same direction.
We conclude that idiolect variation played at most a minor role in our results.
I-languages are idiolects; they are firstlevel abstractions from speech, and are to a language what individuals are to a species.
For the purposes of the scientific study of language, all languages, all dialects, all idiolects, are of equal interest.
They are not always correct (otherwise language would never change, nor could there be any linguistic variation or idiolects).
