Reactions to Patronizing Talk: Some Dutch Data.

Ytsma, Jehannes; Giles, Howard

Journal of Sociolinguistics, v1 n2 p259-68 Jun 1997

Focuses on three issues: social evaluations of speech deemed patronizing towards the elderly in a language other than English, such as, Dutch; stereotypes about the elderly as a social category; and the empirical possibility of a link between evaluations of so-called patronizing speech towards older people and stereotypes about the elderly held by young evaluators.
