“…In contrast, recent research taking a sociolinguistic perspective on L2 acquisition has begun to focus on aspects of the target language where native speak-ers display sociolinguistic variation. This type of research has investigated the learning of sociolinguistic variation in French (e.g., Dewaele 1999;Dewaele and Regan 2001;Knaus and Nadasdi 2001;Mougeon and Rehner 2001;Nadasdi and McKinnie 2003;Regan 1996;Rehner, Mougeon, and Nadasdi 2003;Sankoff et al 1997) and a variety of other languages (e.g., Adamson and Regan 1991;Bayley and Preston 1996;Major to appear;Yamagata and Preston 1999). Thus, this new strand of research has started to fill a long-standing gap in the field of L2 acquisition studies.…”

“…A specific line of inquiry which has recently emerged from the confluence of variationist sociolinguistics and SLA research focuses on the acquisition by second language (L2) speakers of native speech (NS) variation patterns. This research began in the early nineties when Adamson and Regan (1991) examined the acquisition of NS variation patterns of the variable -ing by Vietnamese and Cambodian speakers of English L2. It has been pursued and developed by an increasing number of researchers (Regan 1995;1996;Dewaele and Regan 2002;Mougeon, Nadasdi, and Rehner 2002;Mougeon and Rehner 2001;Nadasdi, Mougeon, and Rehner 2003).…”

“…The study by Adamson and Regan (1991) of the acquisition of community speech norms by Vietnamese and Cambodian speakers of English L2 specifically set up its research design to clarify the question of the distinction between variability in interlanguage as far as it concerns the invariant on the one hand (target and nontarget), and the acquisition by L2 learners of NS speaker variation patterns on the other. In order to avoid confusion between the two, the research was designed with the learners' L1 containing the prestige variant of the variable -ing.…”

“…Variationist sociolinguistics in the past 20 years or so has brought its theoretical and methodological apparatus to bear on L2 research, as described, for example, by Bayley and Preston (1996), Bayley and Regan (2004), Preston (1989) and Young (1991). One thread in the recent past has focused particularly on the acquisition of native speaker variation patterns (see, for example, Adamson and Regan, 1991;Howard, 2004Howard, , 2005aLemée, 2003;Major, 2004;Mougeon et al, 2002;. This research focuses on the way in which L2 speakers make choices in much the same way as native speakers do, depending on their level of proficiency, between the different variants of a particular variable in native speech, such as in the case of the variable deletion of the negative particle 'ne' or the choice between the subject pronouns 'nous'/'on' in French.…”
