English as an Instrumental Language: Language Displacement in the Anglo-Argentine Community.
Cortes-Conde, Florencia
Bilingual Review/Revista Bilingue, v19 n1 p25-38 Jan-Apr 1994
Surveyed 99 Anglo-Argentine students aged 10 through 18 at five Spanish-English bilingual schools in Buenos Aires about their language attitudes and usage. It found that, despite the prestige of the English language, Spanish had become the dominant language for most. Age and place of residency in Buenos Aires also had a significant effect on language usage. (MDM)
