Rememberer
In linguistics, a rememberer is a person who knows individual words or phrases (sometimes entire texts) of a dying or dead language, but cannot use the language productively.[1] This is contrasted with fluent or full speakers, who have a good command of the language, and semi-speakers, who have a partial command of it.[2] The distinction between fluent speakers and rememberers is important in fieldwork, but accurately determining where a member of a language community falls on the speaker–rememberer continuum can be challenging.
