Second Language Learners in a Stratified Multilingual Setting.
Rampton, M. B. H.
Applied Linguistics, v12 n3 p229-48 Spr 1991
Discusses the ethnographic investigation of a multilingual adolescent peer group in which various forms of second/other-language learner status had considerable social significance. The study illustrates the ways a repertoire of languages and language learner statuses serve as differentiated resources adolescents draw on to define community and affirm or contest social structure.
