The Dynamics of Family Dinner Talk: Cultural Contexts for Children's Passages to Adult Discourse.
Blum-Kulka, Shoshana
Research on Language and Social Interaction, v27 n1 p1-50 1994
A study of 68 children's contributions to dinner talk showed that, among Jewish American, Israeli, and American Israeli families, children have less access to the floor than adults. In the two Israeli groups, children were exposed more to topics raised by mothers than by fathers; the reverse was true for Jewish American families. (Contains 65 references.) (JP)
