Children's Disputes in Three Speech Communities.

Lein, Laura; Brenneis, Donald

Language in Society, v7 n3 p299-323 Dec 1978

Focuses on arguments among White American children in a small town in New England, Black American children of migrant harvesters, and rural Hindi-speaking Fiji Indian children. Findings suggest that, while repetition, inversion, and escalation are common to all three cultures, there is considerable variation as to how they are used. (EJS)
