Despite the large literature on language and social class, it can be argued
that the area is distinctly atheoretical (at least social psychologically) inasmuch
as it gives more attention to the details of the presumed structural
and functional differences between working- and middle-class linguistic
skills than to systematizing the processes underlying them. In fact, little of
value for formulating a substantial theoretical perspective has emerged in
the last ten years apart from Robinson's (1979, 1980) and Ryan's (1979)
proposals advocating the consideration of ingroup-outgroup dichotomies
and identities, respectively. In this section we intend to elaborate upon these
proposals by recourse, in the first part, to "ethnolinguistic identity theory"
(Ball et al., in press; Giles and Johnson, 1981) which, as the label implies,
aims to clarify the relationships between language and ethnic group.
