Question

what is the characteristic of metalanguage?

Answer:

Metalanguage is language that describes language. So, instead of maybe using the word, "He was sad," we might say something like, "He felt sorrowful." The choices in words changes the meaning that is interpreted by the reader, just slightly, but there is still a difference.
