Resum
The seminal work of Lambert et al. (1960) opened a new field of study of language that was based on the analysis of the reactions caused by a speaker on his/her audience. In the eighties, research includes reactions of native speakers towards non native speech, primarily based on identifying the most disturbing errors made by second language learners. In this paper, we present a chronological review of significant research to date, as well as an evaluation of their virtues and flaws, to conclude with a defense of the need of these studies in the field of applied linguistics.
