Every adult, whether he is a follower or a leader, a member of a mass or of an elite, was once a child. He was once small. A sense of smallness forms a substratum in his mind, ineradicably. His triumphs will be measured against this smallness; his defeats will substantiate it.
Erik Erikson

WHAT DOES SUBSTRATUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stratum (linguistics)

In linguistics, a stratum or strate is a language that influences, or is influenced by another through contact. A substratum or substrate is a language which has lower power or prestige than another, while a superstratum or superstrate is the language that has higher power or prestige. Both substratum and superstratum languages influence each other, but in different ways. An adstratum or adstrate refers to a language that is in contact with another language in a neighbor population without having identifiably higher or lower prestige. The notion of "strata" has first been developed by the Italian linguist Graziadio Isaia Ascoli, and became known in the English-speaking world by two different authors in 1932. Thus, both terms refer to a situation where an intrusive language establishes itself in the territory of another, typically as the result of migration. Whether the superstratum case or the substratum one applies will normally only be evident after several generations, during which the intrusive language exists within a diaspora culture.

Definition of substratum in the English dictionary
