She put the boys into 4 groups A-D. Group A being the most delinquent and D being the least.
Group A used the most non standard forms. 
However did she even analyse the girls? No evidence suggests she did. ]]> 2017-10-10 16:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/wty4e2hwxrs2/wish/195698549 Peter Trudgill, Norwich Study https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/wty4e2hwxrs2/wish/197585065 1970s. Trudgill studied the way people in Norwich speak to find out how and why people’s ways of speaking varied. 

In particular, he studied the final consonant in words like “walking” and “running”. In Norwich these words are often heard as if the g is not there (this is, however, not unique to Norwich) 

He found that in all social classes, the more careful the speech, the more likely people were to say “walking” instead of “walkin’”, however the amount of “walkin’” type forms was higher in lower social classes.]]> 2017-10-16 21:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wells5/wty4e2hwxrs2/wish/197585065
