discursive: layperson/laïc meaning; marks a construct as layperson/common/non-technical/non-jargon speech/text

Similar, but not equivalent, to pe'a and sa'enai. If a construct could be interpreted in a technical sense (such as the word "likelihood" in English in the field of statistics) but is not being used in that technical sense, it may be marked for layperson interpretation by this word. See also: pe'ainai.
