The impact of linguistic bias upon speech-language pathologists' attitudes towards non-standard dialects of English

Emma Louise Clark et al.

Summary: This study explores speech-language pathologists' linguistic bias towards non-standard language forms and dialects, finding that while they generally have positive attitudes, they are more neutral or negative towards language purity and prescriptive rules. Professional development on cultural and linguistic diversity was associated with more positive attitudes, while years of practice were related to more negative views on language purity. Negative attitudes towards non-standard language forms may impact differential diagnosis and culturally responsive service delivery to speakers of non-standard dialects.
