Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between the language usage of the individual in the university community and membership in a biosocial group or ideological group. Subjects for the study were selected classes at the University of Nebraska. The classes were composed of the basic speech, oral interpretation, and business and industrial communication courses. Of the total number of subjects, the number of students in the rural ideological group was 165. The measure of difference in language usage was a 300-word cloze passage to which the subjects responded with the words they felt were most appropriate for the blanks in the passage. The data from the clozentropy study were analyzed for differences in language usage between the members of the biosocial group and between members of urban and rural background. The results indicated that there were no significant relationships between the language usage of the individual and his membership in either an ideological group or a biosocial group. It was concluded that neither membership in a rural or urban group nor the sex of the individual have been established as having an effect on the language usage of that individual in the university setting.
