However, in PCC practice the language element is not used in the access point for an expression in the original language. Consequently, the access point for a work and its original language expression may be identical.

You can tell whether it is a work or an expression by the heading (authorized access point). If the heading has elements for an expression such as a language, it contains an expression (with the second indicator 2). Otherwise, it contains a work. My interpretation of RDA Appendix I.1, guidelines for using relationship designators. Anyway, more work is always good :) Thanks, Joan Wang Illinois Heartland Library System
