Language Variation and Acceptability
Greenbaum, Sidney
TESOL Quarterly, 9, 2, 165-172, Jun 75
Attitude and use in language do not always coincide. The foreign language teacher should be aware of language variation so that he can decide what forms to teach and when to introduce variants. Several generalizations about variation and acceptability in language are made. (Author/ND)
