Annotation

In the course of the 2010 US Census enumeration the linguistic and non-linguistic conduct of Russian immigrants with little or no competence in English was analyzed and compared to data from English language participants. Their linguistic conduct appeared comparable and as to their comfort level during interviews, friendliness appeared to ease effective interaction.
