Dear all, Long time listener, first time caller etc. I was wondering if you could point me to some literature dealing with parents' influence on one's speech. As far as I know, the dominant belief holds that we speak as our peers do, with parents having little or no influence. But are there any studies specifically looking into this? I am especially interested in cases where a child grows up in one speech community, while one or both of the parents acquired their speech patterns in a completely different community. I'd be very grateful for any help.
