Stereotypes
I am to write about stereotypes in British English and Scottish English and have made this thesis, but I am not satisfied with it. It must be possible to say the same thing clearer than this below. Do you have any suggestions, please? (of course, in correct British English).
Sociolinguistics, Scottish and British English must be in the sentence, but not so clumsy as below, please.
It is necessary that it is clear that there is a difference between British English and Scottish English, but any synonyms are welcome (not slang,please)
"What language stereotypes do the native British English Speakers use about the native Scottish English Speakers and vice versa observed from a sociolinguistic point of view?"

- I would make the part from "observed" on into a second sentence.
- I would think almost any answer would be "socio" or linguistic or both, and I don't fault you for specifing what you want, but it makes the sentence you have too long and tedious.

[nq:1]I think that would be the default assumption for most readers. To remove the potential for ambiguity, though, you could write "... native speakers of BrE & ScE ...".[/nq]
