Extensibility of Literature

Rationale

If two people groups are similar enough, material produced for one group may be adapted relatively easily for use with the other. Note that groups need not only to be similar linguistically but also culturally to the extent that neither group would be socially opposed to such an adaptation.

Obviously, producing an adaptation is not something that surveyors are asked to do. Instead, our role is to assess the potential extensibility of literature from one community to another.
