The native speaker/non-native speaker dichotomy and its sociolinguistic implications are examined. The concept of the native speaker is explored further through specific examples, including a look at the role of the native speaker in pidgin and creole and the native speaker concept within the context of the Native English/New Non-Native English dichotomy. KEYWORDS: linguistics nativity language standardization creole Indian English Black English. 19 pages, 64 footnotes, 23 bibliographic sources. 4,976 words.
