Refer to Chapter 6 of Looking Out, Looking Inand answer the following:

• Think of a time when you spoke with someone whose speech violated the syntactic rules that you are used to.  
• Explain the scenario and the situation.  
• Identify what you thought about that person.  What was your first impression?  
• How was your impression of that person influenced because he or she did not follow standard linguistic rules?  
• Think about it in hindsight.  Was this first impression valid?  Why or why not?
