Peer reviewedThomaneck, Jurgen K. A. – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1980
Describes a study that tests whether the sociolinguistic differences observed in essays in German are a carry-over from the native Scottish English. A previous study is described which tested the hypothesis that social class influences linguistic behavior and could be a cause for errors in a foreign language. (AMH)
