👉 In linguistics, "filatures" refers to specific forms or grammatical structures that are typically found in a particular language. These structures can be used to construct sentences, express ideas, and provide meaning in a variety of contexts.
For example:
- In English, the verb "to eat" (e.g., "I ate an apple") is a filature because it can be translated into other verbs like "eat", "ate", or "eating".
- In French, "être"
