What are the attitudes towards the afro-Caribbean influence on Standard
English?
I am an English Language student who is studying the change
of language and attitudes towards this. I will be asking Shenfield Sixth Form
students what they believe are the attitudes towards the Afro-Caribbean
influence on Standard English. By completing this questionnaire, you agree to
participate with my research methods and your answers will be used in
conjunction with an analysis on the research topic. The data you give within
the questionnaire will be anonymous and confidential. In reference to ethnicity I relate to aspects of a
person’s cultural identity and nationality
as the technical issue of which nation you formally belong to (country of birth
or citizenship). Thank you.
