The azimuthal angular correlations of light charged particles and light intermediate mass fragments emitted from the reaction {sup 36}Ar+{sup 197}Au at {ital E}/{ital A}=50 MeV are found to be reducible to the angular distributions of individual fragments. Thermal scaling is also observed in the coefficients of the angular correlations. Furthermore, the observed scaling with fragment mass seems to imply secondary emission from relatively small ({ital A}{approx_equal}15{endash}30) primary fragments. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
