Hi Andrej,
In my research (http://danielezrajohnson.com/johnson_pads_95.pdf) I
looked into this issue somewhat. The dominant belief you mention -
"that we speak as our peers do, with parents having little or no
influence" - is definitely overstated. We generally speak as our peers
do, but with definite remnants of our parents' patterns. I try to show
this with quantitative data from a large-scale survey in Chapter 3 of
the above.
