eticness

Noun

eticness (uncountable)

1. The state or degree of being etic.
   • However, there are differences in etic descriptions reflecting degrees of eticness, as it were.1963, John Chapman Crawford, “Totontepec Mixe Phonotagmemics”, in Linguistic series, Summer Institute of Linguistics, volume 8, number 8, University of Oklahoma, →ISSN, page 17
   • This is true even when the inquiry deals with phenomena that have been initially emically defined (though the degree of emicness or eticness will have to be qualified).1990, Jean-Jacques Nattiez, Music and Discourse: Toward a Semiology of Music (Princeton Paperbacks), Princeton University Press, →ISBN, page 62
