Psychosocial risk of fossilization by occupationally-used non-native English in information and communication technologists of Argentina.
<p>Aims. Companies use non-native language as a service tool, and they may incur in occupational psychosocial risks. Interlanguage can be chronic under poor communicative situations, leading to fossilization. It could be an adverse effect because of its impact in productivity and occupational...

After gender and age adjustments, a significant inverse association was found between L2 stages and fossilization risk (p<0.0001), with higher risk being in the acquisition stage.
