What does this "nor" parallel with?
What does this "nor" parallel with?
In this excerpt:
"The list in 1.25f does not exhaust the regional or national variants that approximate to the status of standard. Beside the widespread Creole in the Caribbean, for example, there is the increasing recognition that the language of government and other agencies observes an indigenous standard that can be referred to as Caribbean English. Nor have we discussed the emerging standards in countries where English is spoken as a second language."
I think "nor" is paralleled with "does not"
Is my line of thinking right?
Could you tell me, please?
