Some of the research of John Gumperz and his colleagues (Gumperz & Kaltman, 1980;Collins & Michaels, 1980;Gumperz & Tannen, 1979;Bennett, 1980) has focused on how sounds in speech are grouped paralinguistically and how use of paralinguistic cues termed contextualization cues in their work help carry important parts of the message load in speech. Gumperz & Kaltman (1980) and Gumperz & Tannen (1979) in their work present and analyze many examples of speech by learners of English which reveal inappropriate use of contextualization cues leading to speech which native listeners of English can't understand, despite the fact that the speech is perfectly intelligible in terms of grammar, word choice, and semantic content. ...
