Sociolinguistic Approaches to SLA.
Young, Richard
Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, v19 p105-32 1999
Discusses two complementary traditions in the study of communication and social context and shows how one researcher's theory of context influences the methodologies he or she adopts. Reviews substantive findings of sociolinguistic researchers in four main areas of second-language acquisition and use: interlanguage variation, cross-cultural communication, conversational phenomena, and social identity.
