Sociolinguistic studies of language development have tended to concentrate on the home and the classroom and to emphasize the importance of social class as a major determinant of differences in language style. However, analyses of spatial patterns of reading attainment in inner London indicate that although class is important its influence is moulded by features of the neighbourhood in which the children live. These neighbourhood influences may help explain areal variations in the performance of members of the same social class living in different parts of the city. It is suggested, as a result of these findings, that a focus on the local area by students of linguistic development may provide additional information about processes of language acquisition.
