Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Kids Talk is an excellent demonstration of the value of such integration."--Anthropology and Education Quarterly
"...no comprehensive examination of the language strategies of English speakers from about seven to 18 has existed prior to Kids Talk. In addition to middle- and secondary-school English teachers, who will benefit enormously from this study's keen observations and practical suggestions, this volume will be useful to those interested in linguistics, from upper-division undergraduates through faculty."--Choice
