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.

Avreste idee riguardo a cosa si riferisce?

continuum linguistico


Explanation:
Si riferisce all'esistenza (qui contestata) di un continuum, ovvero di uno spettro di variazione graduale di varietà linguistiche che unisce i due poli estremi del vernacolo e delle varietà di prestigio. I due poli estremi sono facilmente riconoscibili (ad es., the Queen's English vs. cockney), mentre le differenze tra le varietà intermedie sono molto meno marcate. In questo caso si contesta l'esistenza di un continuum unico, suggerendo implicitamente la necessità di distinguere diversi gradienti in base a diverse variabili socio-situazionali (uomo-donna, contesto familiare vs. lavorativo, ecc.).

stile unico e costante


Explanation:
e la falsità/erroneità dell'idea di uno stile unico e costante/uguale a se stesso

se si vuole un alternativa alla parola 'continuum'... altrimenti opterei per le soluzioni dei colleghi.

Qui spiega in parole povere che cos'è.

What exactly is a communication style? A communication style (also known as conversational style) is the way in which we share information with others through language. ......... It's also important to recognize that communication styles exist along a continuum. For example, if you consider how direct people are in their communications, you will find some who are so direct that they are viewed as insensitive and harsh whereas others are so indirect that it's impossible to figure out what they're trying to say. Then, of course, there are those at all points in between. Few people will be at the extemes of each "style" continuum, although for illustrative purposes, it may seem that way.
