A
The meaning of words is determined by the linguistic community that uses them.
💡 Explanation:
The Linguistic Community Hypothesis states that the meaning of words is determined by the linguistic community that uses them. This means that the meaning of a word is not something that is fixed and unchanging, but rather something that is constantly being negotiated and renegotiated by the members of the community.
