_____________ as well
emergent groups that are fluid and overlapping, and that have greater or lesser relevance for

community and social forces are left ___________
Homogenous correct answers Speakers of a language presumably constitute a __________ group
in a speech community
Chomsky (later acknowledged this does not exist in the real world) correct answers " Linguistic
theory is concerned primarily with an ideal speaker-listener, in a completely homogeneous
speech community, who knows its language perfectly and is unaffected by such grammatically
irrelevant conditions as memory limitations, distractions, shifts, of attention and interest, and
errors in applying his knowledge of the language in actual performance" Who's description of a
speech community was this?
Linguistic structures correct answers In both de Saussure and Chomsky's work on speech
community the main focus is on ______________, so while both refer in passing to groups of

, True correct answers T/F Gumperz stated "The universe is the speech community: any human
aggregate characterized by regular and frequent interaction by means of a shared body of verbal
signs and set off from similar aggregates by significant differences in language usage. Most
groups of any permanence, be they small bands bounded face-to- face contact, modern nations
divisible into smaller sub-regions, or even occupational associations or neighborhood gang, may
be treated as speech communities, provided they show linguistic peculiarities that warrant special
study"
False (Did not assume) correct answers T/F Gumperz assumed that members of speech
communities all speak the same way, or even the same language

While they did discover the expected variation in actual usage, they were surprised to find that a
small subset of their research subjects only used nonstandard forms of Spanish and did not
appear to be aware at all either of the existence of standard forms or of the stigma associated
with the nonstandard forms they themselves used correct answers Santa Ana and Parodi,
sociolinguists who propose for the population they studied in Mexico a nested, multi-level
reworking of Labov's model of the speech community, They recorded 50 hours of data from 35
Spanish speakers using multiple methods such as sociolinguistic interviews, fill-in-the-blank
tests and role plays in which subjects were asked to teach a non-native speaker the appropriate
way to talk to social superiors and subordinates in specific situations, what did they find?
False (did not employ) correct answers T/F Santa Ana and Parodi did employ ethnographic
methods as linguistic anthropologists almost always do
Locale (I), Vicinity (II), District (III), and National (IV correct answers When Santa Ana and
