The Reporter's Test as a Sociolinguistic Tool.

Ball, Martin J.

Language in Society, v15 n3 p375-86 Sep 1986

The Reporter's Test (DeRenzi and Ferrari, 1978), which investigates the expressive abilities of aphasics, is proven to be useful, through its use in two studies of features of Welsh, for sociolinguists studying language features. The test has great capacity for predicting syntactic forms and eliciting casual styles of speech. (Author/CB)
