Spending a Year Abroad: Do We Acquire Sociolinguistic Competence? -- $tReferences -- $tIndex 330 $aThis volume explores the relationship between 'study abroad' and the acquisition of 'sociolinguistic competence' - the ability to communicate in socially appropriate ways. The volume looks at language development and use during study abroad in France by examining patterns of variation in the speech of advanced L2 speakers. Within a variationist paradigm, fine-grained empirical analyses of speech illuminate choices the L2 speaker makes in relation to their new identity, gender patterns, closeness or distance maintained in the social context in which they find themselves. Using both cross-sectional and longitudinal data, four variable features of contemporary spoken French are analysed in a large population of advanced Irish-English speakers of French. This close-up picture provides empirical evidence by which to evaluate the wide-spread assumption that Study Abroad is highly beneficial for second language learning. 410 0$aSecond Language Acquisition, No. 4 606 $aSecond language acquisition 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aLanguage and languages$xVariation 606 $aForeign study 606 $aFrench language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers 606 $aFrench language$xAcquisition 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xVariation. 615 0$aForeign study. 615 0$aFrench language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers. 615 0$aFrench language$xAcquisition. 676 $a401/.93 700 $aRegan$b Vera$01048400 701 $aHoward$b Martin$f1972-$01048401 701 $aLeme?e$b Isabelle$f1968-$01048402 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455534203321 996 $aThe acquisition of sociolinguistic competence in a study abroad context$92476670 997 $aUNINA
