speaking in non-dominant patterns and using non-standard grammar has nothing empirically to do with ‘bad behaviour’ but it has lots to do with it ideologically
what does ‘misbehaviour’ sound like? in new open access work i ask this question in the context of school discipline policies, looking at how ideologies of ‘im/proper language’ and ‘im/proper behaviour’ coalesce and get co-constructed with one another. doi.org/10.1080/0962...

language ideologies are never just about language. here i show how they materialise in school discipline policies to construct representations of 'badly behaved' children. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
