Daughter: acrolect. 
Mother:  basilect? Does a cline exist when two languages are used? Are Cantonese, Singaporean Chinese and English all dialects of Chinese? I'm not sure dialects are the best way of analysing L2 learners

2. There are many grammatical mistakes in every sentence. But it is still intelligible, at least as written. It is likely that racism and xenophobia were factors in her treatment. The daughter's English was a clearer signal that she was American, and could not be marginalised as easily as her mother.

3. Linguistic discrimination is very common among English speakers. Many of the accents and topics in the video we watched were based on offensive regional or national stereotypes(Irish drink driving etc), and serve to propagate these stereotypes.

4. Yes. This is extremely common in many English speaking countries.

All varieties of English are linguistically equal” refers basically to the grammatical rules which are the same in all varieties. However, because some varieties are considered to be “less prestigious”, they are not considered to be socially equal.

    daughter--acrolect
2. does not follow the perfect grammatical rules of standard english, however, we don't think this would make her any less intelligible because we still understand that she is speaking in English, though comprehensibility and interpretability might be affected.
Pronunciation, way of thinking,.
3. they may think mother's english is a symbol of little education, lower social class. ]]> 2017-05-09 02:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/TuesdayClass_Week10_Activity1/wish/170659788 Yanti & Kautham https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/TuesdayClass_Week10_Activity1/wish/170659972 1.Mother is Basilect and daughter is acrolect

2. Does not follow the grammatical rules of SE. This could caused by the speaker's mother tongue.
However, she is intelligible.
3.Situation at the hospital: Help was rendered when Amy spoke to the hospital personnel. She was able to get them to look for the report and a follow-up of her request. 
People are less sympathetic toward speakers who do not use the 'model' English. 
In terms of social/status perception, not everyone would be able to accept a variety of English.  ]]> 2017-05-09 02:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/TuesdayClass_Week10_Activity1/wish/170660084 Cameron and Carolina https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/TuesdayClass_Week10_Activity1/wish/170660122 1. Mather: basilect
Daughter: acrolect 
2. She makes grammatical errors, in writing she is intelligible though unclear whether she is intelligible when speaking
3. Not all varieties of English are necessarily linguistically equal. Also, it is clear that the mother´s variety of English is socially unacceptable]]> 2017-05-09 02:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/TuesdayClass_Week10_Activity1/wish/170660122 Miae, Ying https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/TuesdayClass_Week10_Activity1/wish/170660387 1. Author-Acrolect
Mother of author-Basilect
2. Author's mother organize her English expressions with Chinese grammars. It does not affect Chinese English user's understanding of her expression but greatly affect other language speaker's understanding of her expressions.
We think that her accent and way of speaking would also affect her intelligibility.
3. We think that her limited English caused her to be regarded as a under-educated people with low social status.
4. We think of Nigerian case that Mackay talked about and the case in India when education level and social class is closely related to English varieties they possessed. Similar situation seems to exist in Chinese context but does not seems to exist in Korean context.
