Diglossia, Immigrant Dialects and Language Maintenance in Australia: The Case of Limburgs and Swabian.
Pauwels, Anne
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v7 n1 p13-30 1986
Investigates whether speakers of standard German and Dutch maintain their language variety better than speakers of German and Dutch dialects. Also investigates the phenomenon of diglossia in immigrant societies and shows that the type of diglossia prevalent in the immigrant's home country significantly affects the language situation in the new environment.
