English term or phrase:continuum of style
Ora è questo continuum che non riesco a capire bene: Graddol and Swann also emphasize the effect of interviewer bias and the fallacy of a single continuum of style that encompasses all vernacular and prestige varieties–a continuum that is supposed to hold for women and men in all contexts.
Graddol e Swann rimarcano la rilevanza dell’influenza dell’intervistatore e l’erroneità dell’idea di uno stile unico che dovrebbe funzionare per entrambi i sessi e in tutti i contesti, e che comprenda tutte le varianti linguistiche, sia quelle di prestigio che le volgari.
