Research conducted by Horvath shows that the negative stigma associated with the Broad Australian English dialect may come from the adult migrant population. This population was often represented by individuals whom were frequently classified to be from a lower social class. Of course there may be other factors that contribute to the negative stereotype, but Horvath associates these factors to be a reason for the criticism towards Broad Australian English.
