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.
Best,
Andrej Bjelaković
