In Alanna Frost and Suzanne Blum Malley's fine session.
These two scholars showed some specific examples of how speakers of English as a second, third, and fourth bump up against linguistic hierarchies operating in their own particular cultural, historical, national contexts.
They examined both the ways in which individuals valued languages, their language practices, and their reflections on their own and others language uses at home, in school, in different language societies.
Blum Malley and Frost provide both written language data and video-recorded data within their study.
